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... - Vente

Amongst the highlights of the “Photography” Auction can be counted a number of August Sander’s most important landscape photographs, including his shot of the Rhine river at Boppard from 1938 (lot 27, 8.000 €) as well as another from 1941 where the photographer captures a romantic rear view high over the Rhine and the island of Nonnenwerth (lot 22, 8.000 €).
The prints, all with Sander's characteristic black ink frame and in their original mount, were produced in the early 1950s, a time when he concentrated intensively on the creation of diverse map works on the theme of landscape.

l'identité, l'individu et le corps, les éléments, l'ambiguïté
des comportements humains, de la société et de son devenir.
Depuis plus de 20 ans, Marie-...
