Artcurial will hold a two-part photography sale, its main auction of the Fall season on Saturday, November 17th at 8 pm and on Monday, November 19th at 2:15 pm. The auctions will be held at Artcurial, Hotel Dassault, 7-9 Rond-Point des Champs-Elysées, 75008, Paris, France. A printed catalogue is available for these sales and can be ordered through Artcurial.
Part I is devoted to masters of 19th-century photography. Lot 14 is a spectacular Camp de Chalons album, by Gustave Le Gray. In excellent condition, it is one of eight known complete albums, finishing with the famous Panorama du Camp. The estimate is 200 000-250 000 euros.
A major portion of this part of the sale is 151 plates from the very rare Crystal Palace album by Philipp Henry Delamotte (lots 34 to 138). Only two complete albums from this important early work are known to have survived. Individual prints by Delamotte are extremely rare at auctions.
Included in this part are photographs by Baldus, Le Gray, Cuvelier, Robert, Duchene de Boulogne and others.
Most of Part II is from an American private collection of mostly American masters. The collection of over 300 prints includes beautiful vintage works by Steichen, Brandt, Kertesz, Hine, Abbott, Walker Evans, Callahan, Arbus and William Klein.
