PHILIPPE HALSMAN (1906–1979)
'Halsman - Dalí Portfolio', 1948–1964, Lot 57 |
| | |  | | | | | | | | | |  | | | AUGUST SANDER (1876–1964)
'Handlanger' (Bricklayer), Cologne c. 1928
58,7 x 44 cm
Estimate: €10.000 - €12.000 | | | | | | | The high-quality selection of more than 210 lots includes highlights, icons and rarities from 160 years. The discovery of a portrait of Gustav Klimt can certainly be described as a photo-historical sensation. The photograph by FRIEDRICH VIKTOR SPITZER from 1905 has until now been unknown and displays extreme precision in the geometry of the picture as well as in the balance of light and dark. It shows the main representative of Art Nouveau in expressive characterisation, to which the staging of the hands also contributes. | | | | | |  | | | LUIGI GHIRRI (1943–1992)
