Auction 1068: Photography
Friday, 3 June 2016 2pm
Highlight of this sale is a group of vintage prints by Albert Renger-Patzsch, which includes his famous image "Natterkopf" from 1925. The exceptional work was published in 1928 in his photo book "Die Welt ist schön" (lot 20, €15,000–20,000). The piece was made together with two other animal portraits at Dresden Zoo (lots 18/19, each est. €5,000-6,000) and due to its fascinatingly abstract graphic qualities it has become one of Renger-Patzsch’s most famous works. "Natterkopf" will be coming under the hammer for the first time, together with a selection of other plant, object and landscape photographs by the artist.
A further top lot is an early 1920s vintage print of Karl Blossfeldt’s "Salvia Argent...

Bruce Silverstein Gallery is pleased to present « Songs and the Sky », an exhibition of art and music.
© Barbara Morgan
Artworks by Lisette Model, Barbara Morgan, Aaron Siskind, Frederick Sommer, and Alfred Stieglitz will be paired with musical compositions by Ernest Bloch, John Cage, Arnold Schoenberg, Henry Cowell, and Christopher Washburne. Historically and conceptually relevant musical compositions were chosen to provoke, compliment, enhance, and challenge a reading of the visual artworks. Music served as literal or ideological inspiration for these artists, who sought to create work with the equivalent potential to communicate or translate abstract concepts directly.

The exhibition title derives from Alfred Stieglitz’s historic series, Songs of ...
L’exposition Dust – Histoires de poussière d’après Man Ray et Marcel Duchamp retrace la vie et les tribulations d’une étrange photographie réalisée en 1920 par Man Ray ou était-ce Marcel Duchamp ? ou peut-être Man Ray et Marcel Duchamp ? La photographie est sans prétention mais énigmatique. C’est un document. C’est une œuvre d’art. C’est un document sur une œuvre d’art. elle est réaliste et abstraite. C’est une nature morte et un paysage. Peut-être même une performance. Je vous dirais volontiers son titre si je le connaissais.
Au début, personne ne s’est beaucoup intéressé à cette image, mais avec le temps elle est devenue un talisman...
Figure majeure de la photographie américaine, mais trop souvent contournée, Aaron Siskind (1903-1991) voit l’importance de son oeuvre se déployer enfin dans une exposition monographique exhaustive, la première depuis plus de 30 ans, constituée de près de 250 tirages originaux, conçue et organisée par le Pavillon Populaire, en collaboration avec les archives Siskind (Center for Creative Photography, Tucson) et la Aaron Siskind Foundation de New York.
Commencée à New York dans les années 1930 sous le signe d’un réalisme documentaire rigoureux, jamais délaissée, au sein de la prestigieuse Photo League, elle revêt, à partir de 1943, un formalisme exigeant, aux limites de l’abstraction, sous l&rs...
Over these past three decades, the Laurence Miller Gallery has hosted approximately 250 exhibitions, and the list of these shows reflects the evolution of photography from the classic black-and-white medium that dominated much of the 20th Century, to today's large-format color contemporary works, as well as video. The gallery takes great pride in having given many emerging photographers their first one-person exhibitions in New York City, as well as having presented many of photography's greatest masters.
Thirty Years Thirty-One Photographers offers to both the connoisseur and the novice collector many of the most famous images shown along with rare prints from the Gallery's private collection. Here is a sampling:

« It is another nature which speaks to the camera rather than to the eye » Walter Benjamin, Little History of Photography (1931)
Abstract photography challenges our popular view of photography as an objective image of reality by reasserting its constructed nature. In Walter Benjamin’s essay on the history of photography, the philosopher and critical theorist articulates photography’s « second nature » as its inherent ability to detach and abstract the visible from the real. Non-representational photography lives in this contested middle ground between material reality and photographic illusion—fact and fiction—first and second natures. Today, anyone who has a cell phone can take and send digital pictures instantaneously. In response to this snapshot culture, many art...
From baptisms to beach getaways, the water's edge is a site for transformations. With this threshold as its inspiration, Robert Mann Gallery's summer exhibition At the Water's Edge includes both historical and contemporary images engaged with those recurrent summer traditions of flocking to the water, either manmade or natural, for a much needed respite. It is no wonder then that the shoreline and the swimming pool have provided numerous photographers with inspiration.

Aaron Siskind led two lives, one as a seriously committed social documentary photographer and one as an Abstract Expressionist. He did well in both lives, but it is in the latter involvement alongside artists such as Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, and other American Abstract Expressionists, that his greatest impact is felt. He did with light and a camera what the others did with canvas, brushes and paint, and although the processes were very different the results were remarkably the same.
This exhibition focuses on how Siskind made the journey from Socialist Realism, as a member of the Photo-League and organizer of the seminal Harlem Document to the very core of the first, and perhaps most significant post WWII American art movement - Abstract Expressionism. The transition, when vie...

Right Through the Very Heart of It contrasts the icons and idiosyncrasies of New York, from the "vagabond shoes" to the "top of the heap," captured by some of the greatest photographers to roam these concrete streets.
Many of the medium's greatest innovators have made their name photographing the denizens and architecture that define our dear city. But such a diverse environment necessitates representing the grit as much as the glamour. In particular the exhibition will highlight sweeping vistas, architectural studies, street photography and street portraiture....

Robert Mann Gallery presents a selection of photographs by Aaron Siskind that draw upon the four seminal exhibitions the artist had at the Egan Gallery between April 1947 and June 1954. Included are a selection of prints believed to have been presented in the original exhibitions.
At the recommendation of his friend Barnett Newman, photographer Aaron Siskind paid a visit to art dealer Charles Egan, one of the few gallerists in New York devoted to contemporary art at the time. The result was four exhibitions at the Egan Gallery. Siskind's photography had begun moving away from social documentary, flattening the picture plane as everyday objects moved into abstraction. Placing Siskind in an exhibition program that included Robert Rauschenberg and provided the first American venue for Willem de Kooning, Egan recognized t...
