CHRISTIE’S PRESENTS LEAVES OF LIGHT AND SHADOW: PHOTOGRAPHS GATHERED BY WILLIAM T. HILLMAN
On March 31, Christie’s will present the sale of Leaves Of Light And Shadow: Photographs Gathered By William T. Hillman, comprising 117 works judiciously acquired by William Hillman over the past three decades. With a sophisticated eye and tremendous dedication to photography, Mr. Hillman has built a comprehensive collection by pursuing consummate examples from top photographers spanning the history of the medium. In Hillman’s dedication to both photography and his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, his primary mission over the past three decades has been to build a world-class collection that will ultimately be gifted to the Carnegie Museum of Art. “There are gaps in the vintage acquisitions and the need to support and strengthen the contemporary component of this endeavor,” Mr. Hillman has stated. Hillman personally designated each work being presented for sale, and will reinvest the funds raised by the auction back into his mission.
The top lot of the auction is Waitress in a Nudist Camp, N.J., 1963 by Diane Arbus (estimate: $200,000-300,000).
