Albert Renger-Patzsch
Das Bäumchen, 1929
Vintage gelatin silver print on Kodak-Royal paper
53.3 x 38 cm (56.5 x 40.6 cm)
Estimate € 50.000 - 70.000 | | | | | | Auction 1210 │ Photography
The season highlight of this auction is an unusually large and high-quality print of an icon of the history of photography: "Das Bäumchen" by Albert Renger-Patzsch. The photographer’s favourite motif was already successfully auctioned by Lempertz in 2015. The photograph offered for sale here - in a format that has hitherto not yet emerged in an auction - was printed by the photographer himself on Kodak Royal paper in the dark room of the Folkwang School and subsequently mounted and framed by Renger Patzsch as a gift for an important client (lot 528, € 50/70,000). Vintage prints by Karl Blossfeldt, whose photographic oeuvre was first discovered in the 1920s, are also rarities on the photo market. They served their creator as illustrative material for tuition in the subject of "modelling from living plants" at the Unterrichtsanstalt des Königlichen Kunstgewerbemuseums (School of the Royal Museum of Applied Arts). Lempertz is offering two of these early prints this season (lots 512/513, €9-12,000 and € 25-30,000). | | | | | |  | | | Auction 1210/Lot 558
