Attersee with rhesus monkey, 1968
Vintage gelatin silver print
30.5 x 24 cm
Estimate: EUR 1,300 to EUR 2,000 | | | | | | | Four photographs offered in the auction were taken in 1927 in the course of a reportage entitled "My Zoo", which shows Tilla Durieux in the company of her animals in her apartment on Kaiserin-Augusta Strasse in Berlin. Three more photographs of her animals and the "Fischzimmer" with a collection of African wood figures complete the zoo. All the photos of the actress were produced by Atelier Stone, which was located only a few houses away from Durieux’s apartment. Sasha Stone (born Aleksander Serge Steinsapir, St. Petersburg 1895-1940 Perpignan) ran his highly successful studio for reportage and advertising photography together with his wife, Cami Stone. He was a dazzling character and a globetrotter, who lived in Warsaw, New York and Paris before settling in Berlin and at last moving to Brussels. Originally trained as an electrician, he worked both in Thomas Edison’s laboratories and for the sculptor Hunt Diederich. During World War I, he joined the American army. After returning to Europe, he studied drawing, painting and sculpture in Paris. | | | | | |  | | | Lot 11
