For 35 years, Galerie Clairefontaine in Luxemburg was an important player on the international art scene, due, above all, to its commitment to photography. Lempertz now has the special honour of taking on the gallery’s entire photographic inventory and offering it for sale in the current and upcoming photography auctions. The artistic breadth of the gallery is reflected in the chosen 60 photographs offered here as the start of a series of auctions.
The collection stretches from early photography of the 20th century – represented here by a still life by the Dresden pictorialist Otto Ehrhardt – through American Straight Photography with works by Edward Steichen and Edward Weston (lot 507, € 3/4,000), French Photographie Humaniste with Brassaï (lot 533, € 4/5,000) and Lucien Aigner, the reportage photography of James Nachtwey, to positions from the field of contemporary photo art with Jürgen Klauke and Joseph Beuys, alongside individual highlights from Andreas Feininger (lot 580, € 3/4,000), Helmut Newton (lot 643, € 10/15,000), William Klein (lots 583/652, each € 3/4,000), Arno Rafael Minkkinen (lots 612/613, each € 2/3,000) and Edward Burtynsky (lots 678/679, each € 10/20,000). | | | | | | | | | Auction 1255/lot 678
