Record voor foto Edward Weston op Sotheby-veiling
Sotheby’s fall sales of Photographs in New York on October 15-16, totaled $12,709,389, exceeding expectations. The two-day series of sales was highlighted by Edward Weston’s seminal Nautilus, an early state of the image on matte-surface paper, from the collection of Alexandra R. Marshall, which commanded $1,105,000, a record for the artist at auction and one of the few photographs to break the $1 million mark. This was the top lot of the various-owners sale of Photographs, comprising the strongest group of photographs from various-owners to be presented at auction in recent years, which brought $10,950,038, a record total at Sotheby’s.
The single-owner sale of Photographs from the Collection of Nancy Richardson achieved $1,759,351. Records were also set for Imogen Cunningham, Frederick Sommer, Aaron Siskind, Louis Faurer, Peter Beard and Herb Ritts, among others.
