About the auction

An exciting and colourful summer lies ahead! Focusing on the American pioneers of colour photography and street photography of the 1960s until the 1980s, who eschewed the spectacular for the normal day-to-day in the United States, we are presenting a catalogue of the big names of their times, while also offering new discoveries and going down some paths less travelled.

Landscapes and cityscapes by Bruce Davidson, Helen Levitt, Saul Leiter, and Nicholas Nixon will be on offer, iconic works by Lee Friedlander and Garry Winogrand, as well as color photographs by Stephen Shore, Meyerwowitz, Lewis Baltz, Larry Sultan, and Mitch Epstein. 

In addition to these focus areas, select international examples of other groundbreaking approaches to photography will supplement the program, including works by the likes of Michael Schmidt, Christer Strömholm, and Helmut Newton.
