Heritage Auction Galleries presents a Signature® Auction of Vintage & Contemporary Photography on December 3 at the Fletcher-Sinclair Mansion in New York.
We're extremely pleased to offer more items from The Collection of a Fortune 500 Company, a large selection of modern photography that has been off the market for a number of years and includes works by O. Winston Link, Friedlander, Edgerton, Winogrand and Skoglund, as well as portfolios by Porter, Burkett, and Haas. Fashion photography by Newton, Ritts, Lindbergh, Horvat and Metzner form a significant portion of the auction as well. Other highlights include two Ansel Adams images with excellent provenance; iconic images such as William Garnett's Snow Geese with Reflection of the Sun over Buena Vista Lake, California and Cartier-Bresson's Rue Mouffetard; strong portraits by Karsh and Halsman of Churchill and Einstein; and two full Wegman portfolios.
