Der daguerreotypierende Pariser Maler Zacharie ist in mehreren Standardwerken zur frühen Fotografie gelistet (vgl. unter anderen Janet E. Buerger,
French Daguerreotypes, 1989, S. 232 / René Perret, Collection Bosshard, 2006,
p. 49 / Le daguerréotype français, 2003, S. 95). Darin wird er immer wieder als
Verfechter der reinen Grautöne genannt. Seine Meinung hierzu hat er sogar
auf seinem Werbeetikett ausformuliert, das auch auf der Rückseite der vorliegenden Daguerreotypie angebracht ist. Eine Kolorierung appliziert er nur
auf spezielles Verlangen seiner Kundschaft. Er war der Ansicht, dass das
Aufbringen der Farbe die samtigen Grautöne und die feinen Abstufungen,
die gerade die Daguerreotypie ausmachen, verloren gingen. Zacharie arbeitete
stets auf einer Terrasse mit Tageslicht, was wunderbar stimmungsvolle
Porträts hervorbrachte.
The Parisian painter and daguerreotypist Zacharie is mentioned in several
reference books about early photography (e. g. Janet E. Buerger, French
Daguerreotypes, 1989, p. 232 / René Perret, Collection Bosshard, 2006, p. 49 / Le daguerréotype français, 2003, p. 95). These emphasise his preference of pure
grey-tones. His opinion about the matter is even recorded on his promotional
label on the reverse of this plate. It states that his daguerreotypes will only be
coloured upon explicit request of the customer. Zacharie was displeased with
the result of colouring as it eliminated the soft grey-tones and the delicate
graduations characteristic of daguerreotypes. He always worked on a terrace
in the natural light, which resulted in wonderfully atmospheric portraits.

Das vorliegende Album der Banater Besitzungen von Andreas
Groll beinhaltet 26 auf Karton montierte Albumin-Abzüge,
lose in der originalen Leinenmappe versammelt. Der sehr gute
Erhaltungszustand der Prints – nur einige wenige Blätter
weisen Ausbleichungen auf – lässt sich dadurch erklären, dass
sich das Album die meiste Zeit auf dem Dachboden seines
französischen Besitzers befand.
The present album of the so-called Banater Besitzungen
(Imperial estates in the Banat) by Andreas Groll contains 26
loose Albumen prints collected in a linen folder. The prints are
in a very good state – only a small number of them display
fading. Their exceptional condition is due to the condition they
were stored in, as the album was kept in its owner’s attic most
of the time.
Grolls Bildinventar aus dem Banat, dem Bergland nördlich von
Belgrad und südlich von Temesvar, zählt zu seinen heraus
ragendsten fotografischen Leistungen und ist den Pionierleistungen der Industriefotografie zuzurechnen. Entstanden sind
die insgesamt mehr als 70 bekannten Aufnahmen zwischen
1859 und 1861. Anlässlich der Weltausstellung in London 1862
wurden sie jedenfalls schon einem größeren Publikum
präsentiert. Beauftragt wurde das Fotoprojekt von der StEG.
Groll’s photo series of the Banat, the mountainous area north
of Belgrade and south of Timișoara, is considered one of his
most extraordinary photographic achievements and is widely
regarded a pioneering effort in industrial photography. The
photographs, which were commissioned by the Privileged
Austrian-Hungarian State Railway Company, were taken between
1859 and 1861. Shortly afterwards, they were shown to a larger
audience during the 1862 World’s Fair in London.
Die Staats-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (StEG) war eine Gründung
von Wiener Banken und der Société générale de Crédit mobilier de
Paris. Sie erwarb Anfang 1855 vom jungen Kaiser Franz Joseph
den gesamten Besitz im Banat. Im Banat wurden jeher Bodenschätze wie Kupfer, Blei, Gold und Kohle abgebaut. Ab der
Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts verlagerte sich der Fokus auf Grund
der rasanten Entwicklung des Eisenbahnbaus auf den Abbau
von Eisen. Der Wiener Fotograf dokumentierte die wachsenden Anlagen, die Gruben-und Fabriksgebäude, die neue
Paraffinfabrik, Amts- und Verwaltungsgebäude und Arbeitersiedlungen. Außerdem hielt er die unterschiedlichen Mit
arbeiter in Gruppenporträts fest. Das vorliegende Konvolut
beinhaltet eine wunderbare Aufnahme der Waldaufseher aus
Krassowa. Des Weiteren ist eine Aufnahme eines „Zigeuner
lagers“ enthalten – ein Beweis dafür, dass sich Groll die
Freiheit nahm nicht nur auftragsrelevante Fotografien zu
machen. Größere Gruppen von Aufnahmen befinden sich in
der Albertina und im Technischen Museum (vormaliger Besitz
Eisenbahnmuseum). Das hier angebotene Album mit 26
Aufnahmen ist jedoch das größte bekannte Konvolut, das bis
dato auf dem freien Kunstmarkt angeboten wurde.
The State Railway Company had been founded by Viennese
banks and the Société générale de Crédit mobilier de Paris, which
acquired the entire estates in the Banat from the young
Emperor Franz Joseph. The area had long been a source of
natural resources such as copper, lead, gold and coal. In the
second half of the 19th century, the rapid increase in the
construction of railways led to a shift of focus towards iron
mining. Groll, who was based in Vienna, documented the
growing of the infrastructure, mine workings and factory
buildings, the new paraffin factory, the official buildings and
the workers’ estates. He also captured group portraits of the
many different people among the workers. This lot includes a
wonderful portrait of foresters from Krasowa. The collection
even includes pictures not directly related to Groll’s commission: a photograph of a gipsy settlement. The Albertina and the
Vienna Technical Museum are in possession of larger bodies of
photographs from this series. However, the album to be
auctioned is the largest known lot to ever be offered on the
open art market.

Die Mappe mit 20 handsignierten Heliogravüren und 25 Zink
gravüren nach Gummidrucken von Henneberg, Kühn und Watzek
war die erste ausschließlich dem ‚Trifolium‘ gewidmete Publikation.
Herausgegeben wurde sie 1902 von Fritz Matthies-Masuren im
renommierten Wilhelm Knapp Verlag in Halle. Matthies-Masuren,
Künstler und Publizist, widmete sich ab 1898 vermehrt dem
Trifolium und war ein unermüdlicher Promotor des Gummidrucks;
der für ihn die technisch anspruchsvollste und künstlerisch wertvollste Methode der Kunstfotografie darstellte. Das gut erhaltene
und höchst seltene Exemplar kommt aus der privaten Bibliothek von
Victor Thonet und trägt die handschriftliche Nummerierung „8“.
Die Nr. 2 war das private Exemplar Heinrich Kühns; insgesamt
dürften nur wenige signierte Sammlerexemplare angefertigt worden
sein. Einige der darin vorkommenden Motive wurden ein paar Jahre
später (1906) dem internationalen Publikum in Camera Work 13
präsentiert.
The portfolio consisting of 20 signed heliogravures and 25 zinc
gravures after gum prints by Henneberg, Kühn and Watzek, was
the first publication dedicated entirely to the ‘Trifolium’. It was
issued in 1902 by Fritz Matthies-Masuren in the prestigious Wilhelm
Knapp Verlag in Halle. Matthies-Masuren, artist and writer, devoted
himself from 1898 to the Austrian Trifolium and was a tireless
promoter of the gum print, which was in his opinion the most
technically and artistically valuable method of art photography.
The well-preserved and rare copy comes from the private library of
Victor Thonet and bears the handwritten numbering “8”. The no. 2
was the private copy of Heinrich Kühn and it is believed that only
a few signed collector’s editions have been made. Some of the
appearing motifs were presented to an international audience in
Camera Work 13 in 1906.

Gustav Klimt verbrachte von 1900 bis 1916 beinahe jede
Sommerfrische am Attersee und wurde häufiger Gast in der
Villa Paulick II. Zwar logierte er meist andernorts, weil er
zum Malen Ruhe brauchte, er kam aber so gut wie jeden Tag
hierher. Meistens begleiteten ihn seine Lebensgefährtin Emilie
Flöge und deren Familie. Auf dieser Fotografie sehen wir
ihn entspannt, einen legeren knittrigen Leinenanzug tragend,
am Steg der Villa lehnend.
Between 1900 and 1916, Gustav Klimt spent nearly all his
summer holidays at Lake Attersee, where he often visited
Villa Paulick II. Although he would usually stay somewhere
else in order to have the quietude he needed to paint, he would
come there nearly every day. He was usually accompanied
by his companion, Emilie Flöge, and her family. On this
photograph, we see Klimt, dressed in a casual, creased linen
suit, leaning against the villa’s footbridge.

Robertson (geboren 1883 in Hamburg) übernahm 1927 das Atelier Lili Baruch
am Kurfürstendamm und avancierte zu einem der renommiertesten Porträtisten
der Stadt, vor allem von Schriftstellern, Künstlern und Politikern. Besonders
bekannt wurde er durch seine Aufnahmen moderner Tänzer und Tänzerinnen
wie Harald Kreutzberg, Vera Skoronel, Ellinor Bahrdt, Niddy Impekoven und
Mary Wigman. Als Jude durch den Machtantritt der Nationalsozialisten zur
Emigration gezwungen, ließ er sich in Kopenhagen nieder, floh 1943 nach Stockholm und lebte 1945 bis zu seinem Tod 1950 wieder in Dänemark.
Robertson, born 1883 in Hamburg, took over Lili Baruch’s studio space at Kurfürstendamm in 1927 and became one of the most renowned portraitists of Berlin,
especially among writers, artists and politicians. His portraits of modern dancers
such as Harald Kreutzberg, Vera Skoronel, Ellinor Bahrdt, Niddy Impekoven
and Mary Wigman were particularly acclaimed. Being Jewish, Robertson was
forced to emigrate when the National Socialist Party got into power. He settled
in Copenhagen but fled again in 1943 and went to Stockholm. In 1945, he returned
to Denmark, where he stayed until his death in 1950.

Der in den USA geborene Surrealist Man Ray hat tausende
Fotografien und Negative hinterlassen, größtenteils Porträtaufnahmen, die in seinem Studio nach seiner Ankunft in Paris im
Jahre 1921 entstanden. Man Rays Klientel bestand aus Mitgliedern dadaistischer und surrealistischer Kreise, aus Künstlern,
Malern, Autoren, Aristokraten, und namhaften Vertretern
der Theater-und Modewelt. Die vorliegende Fotografie ist
ein perfektes Beispiel für die kühne Einfachheit, die seinen
weltweit hoch geschätzten Stil auszeichnet. Die Aufnahme
entstand, als Schiaparelli in Paris bereits als wegweisende
Modedesignerin erkannt worden war. Schiaparelli stand der
Avantgarde nahe und war bekannt für ihre Kollaborationen
mit surrealistischen Künstlern. Das Porträt gewährt uns einen
flüchtigen Blick auf eine nachdenklich wirkende Elsa. Die
geschwungene Diagonale trennt das Sujet vom Hintergrund.
Die kontrastreiche und überzeugende Komposition entstand
durch den Polarisationseffekt. Der vorliegende Abzug ist
signiert und wurde in den 1960ern geprintet.
American-born Surrealist Man Ray left behind thousands
of photo negatives, mostly portraits taken in his studio after
his arrival in Paris in 1921. Man Ray’s clientele was made up
of members of Dadaist and Surrealist circles, of artists and
painters, of writers and aristocrats, and paragons of the worlds
of fashion and theatre. The present portrait of Elsa Schiaparelli
is a perfect example of the bold simplicity of his highly
acclaimed style. It was taken when Schiaparelli was already
a known trail breaking fashion designer in Paris. Schiaparelli
closely intertwined with the avant-garde art world and
was known for her collaborations with surrealistic artists.
The portrait gives us a glimpse of the inner, contemplative
Elsa. The sloping diagonal separates the subject from the
background. The strong and contrasty composition is created
by solarisation. The beautiful print is signed and was made in
the 1960s.

Der deutschstämmige surrealistische Künstler und Schrift
steller Hans Bellmer ist vor allem bekannt für die zwei
Puppen, die er währen der 1930er in Berlin schuf. Bellmer gilt
als das kontroverseste und sexuell fixierteste Mitglied des
surrealistischen Kreises. Inspiriert durch E.T.A. Hoffmanns
Olympia, der automatisierten Tochter des Dr. Coppelius aus
Hoffmanns bekannter Erzählung Der Sandmann, wurde diese
Puppe zum bizarren Ausgangspunkt für Bellmers Werk. Sie
war der grundlegende Impuls hinter zahllosen erotischen
Fotografien und Zeichnungen und inspirierte sein Opus
Magnum, das Fotobuch La Poupée. Wie die Puppe selbst, ist
Bellmers Buch eine seltsame Mischung kindlicher Unschuld
(rosa Paper, fragile Bindung und Umschläge) und perversen
Wahns (die verstümmelten und akribisch gesteuerten sexuellen
Figuren in den Fotografien). Bellmers Einfluss auf nachfolgende Bildschaffende wie Frederick Sommer, Ralph Eugene
Meatyard oder Cindy Sherman ist beachtlich. (The Photobook:
A History, Vol. 1, S. 106–107; The Book of 101 Books, S. 88)

German-born Surrealist artist and writer Hans Bellmer is most
famous for the two dolls he created in Berlin during the 1930s.
Bellmer is considered the most controversial and sexually
obsessed member of the Surrealist circle. Inspired by E.T.A.
Hoffmann’s Olympia, the automated daughter of Dr. Coppelius
in his famous tale The Sandman (1816), the doll became the
bizarre impetus for Bellmer’s work. It was the basic impulse
behind innumerable erotic photographs and drawings, and
inspired his opus magnum, the photo book La Poupée. Like the
doll itself, Bellmer’s book is a strange mixture of childlike
innocence (the pink paper, the delicate binding and wraps)
and perverse menace (the mutilated and utterly controlled
sexual fantasy figures in the photographs). Bellmer’s influence
on later image-makers, including Frederick Sommer,
Ralph Eugene Meatyard or Cindy Sherman, is substantial.

Die Aufnahme der drei Ikonen Marlene Dietrich, Anna May
Wong und Leni Riefenstahl entstand 1928 auf dem Ball der
Berliner Kunstschule Reimann. Der 20-jährige Eisenstaedt
stand am Beginn seiner Karriere und hatte kurz zuvor seine
erste Fotografie an ein Magazin verkauft. Die drei Damen
hatten zwar bereits einen Namen, ihre großen Erfolge standen
jedoch noch vor ihnen. Zwei Jahre nach der Aufnahme gelang
Dietrich der Durchbruch mit Der blaue Engel. Was das so
unbekümmert wirkende Gruppenporträt so interessant macht,
ist die Tatsache, dass man die Gedanken an die politische
Zukunft und die unterschiedlichen politischen Haltungen der
Porträtierten kaum ausblenden kann. Dietrich war eine der
wenigen, die sich in Hollywood offen gegen die Nazis
aussprach. Riefenstahl hat sich später mit ihren Filmen in den
Dienst der Propaganda gestellt. Der rare Vintage-Print kommt
aus der Sammlung des Neffen von Eisenstaedt. Er sei ein
Lieblingsprint seines Onkels gewesen, der für ihn stets eine
Art Andenken an seine Zeit in Europa darstellte.
This photograph of the three icons Marlene Dietrich, Anna
May Wong and Leni Riefenstahl was taken in 1928 at a ball
held by Berlin art school Reimann. Eisenstaedt, aged 20 at
the time, was still a freshman in the field of professional
photography and had only very recently sold his first
photograph to a magazine. Although the three women had
already started to make a name for themselves, their biggest
successes were yet to come. Two years after the photo was
taken, Dietrich broke through with The Blue Angel. What
makes this casual looking portrait so interesting is that, as a
spectator, it is virtually impossible to ignore the later political
attitudes of the three – Dietrich was one of the few people in
Hollywood who openly criticised the German Nazi regime,
which contrasts with Riefenstahl’s contribution to Nazi
propaganda with her films. This rare vintage print comes from
the collection of Eisenstaedt’s nephew. According to him, this
photograph had always been one of his uncle’s favourite prints
and a kind of memory of his time in Europe.

a chronicler of an entire century. In 1933, he travelled to Italy
to capture the very first meeting of Adolf Hitler and Benito
Mussolini, which he shot from a few yards away. Two years
after Hitler became president. (Lot 69)
Bourke-White zählte 1936 zu den Gründungsmitgliedern von
Life. Von den vielen Fotografen erlebte kaum jemand mehr
im Zweiten Weltkrieg als die damals einzige Frau im Stab.
Bourke-White begleitete General George Pattons Dritte Armee
im Frühling 1945 auf ihrem geschichtenumwobenen Marsch
durch ein zusammenbrechendes Deutschland. Ihre Aufnahmen aus den befreiten Konzentrationslagern (Lot 77) sorgten
weltweit für Aufsehen und Erschütterung. Sie waren die ersten,
die einer bis dato völlig ungläubigen Öffentlichkeit, die gänzliche mörderische Natur der Konzentrationslager offenbarten.
Bourke-White was one of the founding members of Life in 1936.
She was the only woman among the staff, but saw more action
during World War II than most other photographers. Particularly her photographs from liberated German concentration
camps (Lot 77) received a lot of attention. The pictures were
made when Bourke-White accompanied General George
Patton’s Third Army on its storied march through a collapsing
Germany in the spring of 1945. They were the very first to
document for a largely disbelieving public, in America and
around the world, the wholly murderous nature of the camps.
Im Juni 1945 publizierte Life einen Artikel mit dem Titel ‚The
Battered Face of Germany‘, mit Luftaufnahmen von BourkeWhite (Lot 76). Die Fotografien zeigen die horrende Zerstörung
von Deutschland und enthüllen gleichzeitig die umfassende
Luftstrategie der Alliierten.
In early June 1945 Life published an article titled ‘The Battered
Face of Germany’, featuring photos made from the air by
Margaret Bourke-White (Lot 76). The pictures show the
devastation of Germany at its worst and reveal the overall
pattern of Allied air strategy.
Bourke-Whites Fotografien sind für den politisch und sozial
engagierten Journalismus beispielhaft. Ähnliches gilt für
W. Eugene Smith, der von 1939 bis 1942 einen Vertrag mit Life
hatte. Während des Zweiten Weltkrieges arbeitete er als
Kriegsberichterstatter im Südpazifik, wo er an einer Reihe
entsetzlicher Invasionen teilnahm. Wegen seiner Furchtlosigkeit wurde er „Wonderful Smith“ genannt. Im April 1945 hielt
er die Schlacht von Okinawa fest (Lot 72). Ein Granatsplitter
drang durch seine Wange. Die Verletzung zwang ihn zur
Rückkehr in die USA. In den folgenden zwei Jahren wurde er
mehrfach operiert. Im Laufe des Jahres 1946 begann er wieder
mit der Fotografie.
Bourke-White’s photographs are a pioneer’s work in the field
of socially and politically involved journalism. The same can
be said of W. Eugene Smith’s work, who had a contract with
Life between 1939 and 1942. During World War II, he worked as
a war correspondent in the South Pacific, where he witnessed
several horrible invasions. Due to his fearlessness, they
referred to him as “Wonderful Smith”. In 1945, he covered the
Battle of Okinawa (Lot 72). A piece of shrapnel pierced his
cheek, which forced him to return to the USA. In the following
two years, he had surgery several times. In 1946, he picked up
photography again.
Ein weiterer wichtiger Life-Reporter war Frank Scherschel, der
neben Robert Capa einer der sechs akkreditierten Fotografen
war, die bei der Landung der Alliierten in der Normandie
dabei waren (Lot 73).

was one of the six photographers alongside Robert Capa
who witnessed the Normandy landings of the Allies (Lot 73).

Cartier-Bresson machte die aussagekräftigsten Aufnahmen der kommunistischen
Übernahme von China und der Geburtsstunde der Volksrepublik. China wurde
seit Juli 1946 vom Bürgerkrieg zwischen den Truppen des Kommunisten Mao
Tse-Tungs und den nationalistischen Streitkräften der Kuomintang unter General
Tschiang Kai Schek zerrissen. Als sich der Sieg der Kommunisten abzeichnete, sank
der Wert des Papiergeldes ins Bodenlose. Die Kuomintang entschieden 40g Gold
pro Person auszugeben, was zu einer Art Goldrausch im Dezember 1948 führte.
Die Aufnahme zeigt Einwohner Shanghais beim Eintauschen von Geld gegen Gold
vor einer staatlichen Bank. Die Polizei versuchte nur halbherzig wieder Ordnung
herzustellen. Zehn Menschen kamen in der Drängerei zu Tode. Die ikonische
Aufnahme blieb seither ein Symbol einer Massenpanik nach einem Regimewechsel.
Cartier-Bresson inkludierte sie in sein erstes Fotobuch, The Decisive Moment, aus
dem Jahre 1952. Der vorliegende signierte Print kommt ursprünglich aus dem
Archiv des Fotografen, und wurde 2011 vom aktuellen Besitzer in der Auktion
100 photographs from the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation erworben.
Cartier-Bresson took the most definitive photographs of the Communist takeover
of China and the birth of the People’s Republic. Since July 1946, China has been
torn apart by civil war between the Communist forces of Mao Tse-Tung and the
Nationalist Kuomintang forces of General Tchang Kai Chek. With the approach of
the Communist victory, the value of paper money plummeted. The Kuomintang
decided to distribute 40 grams of gold per person. A gold rush started in December
1948. The image shows Shanghai citizens at a government bank exchanging paper
money for gold. The police only made a gesture toward maintaining order. Ten
people were crushed to death. The iconic shot is a lasting symbol of crowds
panicked by the change of regime. Cartier-Bresson included it in his very first photo
book The Decisive Moment in 1952. The present signed print comes originally from
Cartier-Bresson’s archive and was acquired by the present owner in 2011 at the
auction 100 photographs from the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation.

Magnum Fotograf Ian Berry verewigte den tschechischen
Widerstand während des sogenannten Prager Frühlings im
Jahre 1968 in seinen Aufnahmen. Der tschechoslowakische
Erste Sekretär Alexander Dubcek hatte zuvor eine Reform
begonnen, welche eine Welle des Protestes auslöste. Diese
endete erst, als die UdSSR im August desselben Jahres im
Land einmarschierte. Berry erreichte Prag an dem Tag, als die
Panzer des Warschauer Paktes einrollten und dokumentierte
als einziger ausländischer Fotograf das Geschehen. Berry
fotografierte die Ankunft der Panzer und die unvergesslichen
Szenen der gewaltsamen Proteste junger Tschechen gegen die
verwirrten russischen Soldaten. Viele davon kamen aus Asien
und waren bewusst im Dunklen darüber gelassen worden,
welches Land sie einnahmen. Berrys Arbeit in Prag gilt als
eines der wichtigsten fotohistorischen Dokumente dieses
weitreichenden Ereignisses.
Magnum photographer Ian Berry immortalised the Czech
resistance of the so-called Prague Spring in 1968. Czechoslovakia’s first secretary Alexander Dubcek began a period of
reform, which gave way to outright civil protest, only ending
when the USSR invaded the country in August of that year.
Berry arrived in Prague on the same day as the Warsaw Pact
tanks rolled in. He was the only foreign photographer present
to capture the momentous events of that day. Berry photographed the arrival of the tanks and the unforgettable sights of
young Czechs remonstrating with confused Russian soldiers,
many from Asia, who had deliberately been kept in the dark
about which country they were invading. His work in Prague
is regarded as one of the most important photo-historical
records of this major seismic event.

“People who see this picture often ask me if I posed it, and
the answer is: No, it just happened. I was at the University of
Michigan at Ann Arbor in 1951, photographing the school’s
famous marching band (...) In the afternoon I saw the drum
major strutting along all alone. A group of children saw him,
and all of a sudden they ran out and began to mimic and
imitate him. It happened so very quickly I barely had time to

Nur wenigen Fotografen gelingt es solch einen Moment
überschwänglicher Freude, Angst und Begeisterung in
einem Bild einzufangen. Alfred Eisenstaedt machte diese
unvergessene Aufnahme, als er 1963 für eine Reportage
für Life in Paris war. Aus der ersten Reihe beobachtete
er Kinder bei einem Puppenspiel im Tuilerien-Park.
Der Schnappschuss zeigt den Moment als die Aufführung
„Der Heilige Georg und der Drachen“ ihren Höhepunkt
erreicht. Das mystische Biest wird erschlagen. Die Kinder
reißen vor Entsetzen ihre Münder auf und schreien vor
Aufregung. Eisenstaedts vielleicht schönste nicht-inszenierte Ikone gelangt als signierter Print aus dem Familienbesitz zur Auktion.
Only few photographers are capable of capturing such
intense joy, fear and enthusiasm in one single frame. Alfred
Eisenstaedt took this unforgotten photograph while on a
documentary assignment from Life in Paris in 1963. He was
observing children from the first row during a puppet play
at Tuileries Garden, as the play ‘St. George and the Dragon’
reached its climactic moment. Saint George slays the
dragon and the children open their mouths in shock. This
photograph may be Eisenstaedt’s most beautiful non-staged
icon. The signed print to be auctioned comes directly from
the family’s estate.

€ 24.000 / € 40.000–50.000
Das umfassende Konvolut beinhaltet 215 Porträts und
Atelieraufnahmen von 22 verschiedenen Künstlern der Pariser
Schule. Es inkludiert nicht nur Hubmanns weltbekannte
Porträts von Picasso und Giacometti, sondern auch eine
Anzahl bis dato unveröffentlichter Aufnahmen. Die frühen
Silbergelatine-Prints sind auf Papier montiert und auf diesem
sorgfältig von Hubmann mit der Schreibmaschine oder Hand
beschriftet. Die Beschriftungen erzählen von seinen Zusammentreffen und Erfahrungen mit den abgebildeten Künstlern.
Die Abzüge entstanden Ende der 1960er-Jahre und dienten
Hubmann als Storyboard für seinen Fernsehfilm École de Paris,
der 1970 ausgestrahlt wurde. Die Dokumentation erzählt die
Geschichte des Pariser Parnass und ist ausschließlich mit
eingeblendeten Fotografien von Hubmann bebildert.
Hubmann schuf seinen Bildatlas zur Pariser Kunstszene in
den Jahren 1955 bis 1957. Alfred Schmeller, der damalige
Direktor des Museums des 20. Jahrhunderts in Wien, animierte
ihn zu diesem Projekt. Hubmann wollte die Großen der
Kunstgeschichte noch rechtzeitig porträtieren und es gelang
ihm diese respektvoll, aber sympathisch unbefangen einzufangen. Hubmann kam meist ohne Termin und stand überfallsartig vor den Türen der Künstler. Entstanden sind nicht
nur momenthafte Einzelporträts wie im Fall des scheuen
Giacometti, sondern auch umfassende Serien wie mit Picasso,
Chagall oder Le Corbusier. Das vorliegende Konvolut beinhaltet ganze 36 Prints aus dieser wichtigen Serie mit Picasso.
Diesen besuchte Hubmann in Begleitung seines Freundes, dem
Kunsthändler Daniel Henry Kahnweiler. Er hielt den entspannt wirkenden Weltstar inmitten seines Atelierchaos fest.
Le Corbusier, Zao Wou-Ki, Chagall und Buffet porträtierte er
im Umfeld ihrer Werke und künstlerischen Produktion.
Hubmann war zwar nicht der einzige Fotograf, der den
prominenten Künstlern in Paris nachstellte, aber seine
Aufnahmen zählen zu den intimsten und persönlichsten
Künstlerporträts der Fotogeschichte. Dass vorliegend gleich
mehr als 200 seiner Aufnahmen versammelt sind, kann nicht
hoch genug eingeschätzt werden.

This extensive lot contains 215 portraits of artists and their
studio spaces from the School of Paris. It includes not only
Hubmann’s world famous portraits of Picasso and Giacometti,
but also a number of unpublished shots. The gelatin silver
prints are mounted on paper and accompanied by detailed
notes written by Hubmann himself, both by hand and on
typewriter. The notes recount the numerous meetings with the
artists shown. The prints were made in the late 1960s and
served as a storyboard for Hubmann’s television movie École de
Paris, which premiered in 1970. The documentary tells the
story of the Paris Parnass and its entire visual material consists
exclusively of photographs taken by Hubmann.
Hubmann created his photographic map of the Parisian art
scene between 1955 and 1957 after Alfred Schmeller, the then
director of the Museum of the 20th century in Vienna, had
inspired him to do so. The idea was to capture the important
figures in art before it was too late and, indeed, Hubmann
succeeded. He captured the artists in a respectful yet pleasingly casual way. He would usually show up at the artists’
door steps unannounced and completely surprise them. The
results were not only single portraits, as in the case of the shy
Giacometti, but also extensive series, such as the portraits of
Picasso, Chagall or Le Corbusier. This collection contains an
impressive 36 prints of this important series with Picasso.
All of these were taken during a visit to Picasso together with
Hubmann’s friend and art dealer Daniel Henry Kahnweiler.
Hubmann captured a relaxed-looking Picasso surrounded by
his chaotic studio. The portraits of Le Corbusier, Zao Wo-Ki,
Chagall and Buffet were also taken in the midst of their studio
spaces and they show their works in progress.
Hubmann was by no means the only photographer who was
after the prominent artists of Paris, but his photographs are
among the most personal and intimate artist portraits in the
history of photography. The present collection contains an
astonishing number of more than 200 prints from the series,
which is highly extraordinary.

In den späten 1950er-Jahren ließ sich Strömholm an der Place Blanche im Pariser Vergnügungsviertel Pigalle nieder. Die nächsten
Jahre lebte er Tür an Tür mit Transsexuellen,
Transvestiten und männlichen Prostituierten.
Strömholm adaptierte deren Rhythmus,
nachts packte er seine Pfeife, die Leica und
einige Rollen der legendären schwarz-weißen
Tri-X Filme ein und begleitete seine neuen
Freunde bei ihren nächtlichen Streifzügen
durch die Straßen von Paris. Er arbeitete auch
bei diesen Szenen ausschließlich mit vorhandenem Licht, so dass das Milieu zwar Bestandteil seiner Bilder ist, Details jedoch zumeist
im Dunkel verschwinden. Liebevoll nannte
er sie seine „Freundinnen“, Gina und Nana,
Sylvia und Suzanne, um nur einige zu nennen.
Strömholms Aufnahmen folgen keinem voyeuristischen oder lauernden Blick, sondern
sprechen von großem Respekt, Nähe und
wachsender Vertrautheit. „These are images
of people whose lives I shared and whom
I think I understood“, so beschreibt er seine
lange unveröffentlichten Bilder.
In the late 1950s, Strömholm moved to Place
Blanche in Pigalle, the Paris nightclub district.
For the next years, he lived door to door
with transsexuals, transvestites and male
prostit utes. Strömholm adapted to their
rhythm: at night he packed up his pipe, his
Leica and a few rolls of the legendary black-andwhite Tri-X films and accompanied his new
friends on their nightly forays into the streets
of Paris. Shooting these scenes, he worked
exclusively with available light, so that
the milieu is part of his images, but most of
its details disappear in the darkness. He
affectionately called them his “girlfriends”,
Gina and Nana, Sylvia and Suzanne, to
name but a few. Strömholm’s images are not
voyeuristic or preying, but speak of great
respect, closeness and a growing intimacy.
“These are images of people whose lives
I shared and whom I think I understood,”
thus he described his pictures, which long
remained unpublished.

Seine Tätigkeit als Fotoreporter begann
Oskar-Barnack-Preisträger Gianni
Berengo Gardin Mitte der 1950er Jahre bei
der Wochenzeitung Il Mondo. Sein Talent
besteht häufig darin, uns die Dinge
ungeschminkt und ungekünstelt zu
übermitteln, so wie sie sind, noch roh und
unbearbeitet. Die vorliegende Fotografie
ist Gianni Berengo Gardins wohl berühmtestes Motiv, entstanden auf dem Vapo
retto, einer Art Omnibus auf dem Wasser –
in Venedig das am meisten benutzte
Verkehrsmittel. Die Bildfindung überzeugt durch ihre Komplexität, das
Miteinander von Durchblicken, Ausblicken oder Spiegelungen, die für die Dauer
eines Wimpernschlags ein fast schon
surreales Miteinander formen.
A winner of the Oskar Barnack Prize,
Gianni Berengo Gardin began his career
as a photo reporter for the weekly
newspaper Il Mondo in the mid-1950s.
Often, his talent consists in conveying an
unadorned and non-artificial image of
things – as they are, in the raw and
unprocessed. The present photograph is
presumably Gianni Berengo Gardin’s most
famous motif, taken on a vaporetto, a kind
of water omnibus – the most frequentlyused mode of transportation in Venice.
The image is convincing in its complexity,
the concurrence of perspectives, vistas
and reflections which form an almost
surreal conglomerate for the duration of
a second.

Ulrich Mack erlangte mit seinem Fotoessay über Wildpferde in
Kenia internationale Anerkennung. Mack begleitete damals als
Bildreporter ein Team von Filmemachern um den Regisseur
Gualtiero Jacopetti (Africa Addio) in die afrikanische Steppe.
Ausgerüstet mit einer Leica M2, wartete er auf die Herde, als
die von Kenianern zusammengetriebenen Tiere plötzlich auf
ihn zugaloppierten. Statt davonzulaufen, machte der Fotograf
wie in Trance genau 35 Aufnahmen – mitten aus der Herde
heraus, die ihn einkreiste, ohne ihn freilich niederzutrampeln.
Die Fotografien wurden unter dem Titel Mondo Cavallo in der
von Willy Fleckhaus gestalteten Jugendzeitschrift twen
(Nr. 4/1964) veröffentlicht. Für die Reportage erhielt Mack den
renommierten World Press Photo Award in nicht weniger als
vier Kategorien. In der Kamera-Auktion am 11. Juni 2016
werden die persönlichen Kameras von Ulrich Mack
versteigert.
Ulrich Mack’s photo essay about wild horses in Kenya brought
him international recognition. At the time, Mack was
accompanying a team of filmmakers surrounding director
Gualtiero Jacopetti (Africa Addio) to the African steppe as a
photo reporter. Equipped with a Leica M2, he had been
awaiting the herd when the animals, herded together by
Kenyans, suddenly galloped towards him. Instead of running
away, the photographer took exactly 35 pictures, as if in a
trance – from the midst of the herd, which surrounded him
without trampling him. The photographs were published
under the title Mondo Cavallo by the youth magazine twen
(No. 4/1964) edited by Willy Fleckhaus. For this feature, Mack
received the renowned World Press Photo Award in no less
than four separate categories. Ulrich Mack’s private cameras
will be auctioned on June 11th, 2016 at WestLicht.

THE LAST SITTING

Bert Stern war nicht der erste Fotograf, der Marilyn fotografierte, aber der letzte. Die Aufnahmen, die im späten Juni 1962
in drei Fotositzungen entstanden, sollten später als The Last
Sitting in die Fotogeschichte eingehen.
Bert Stern was not the first photographer who Marilyn Monroe
posed for, but indeed the last one. In late June of 1962, the
two had a shooting which would later be famously known as
The Last Sitting.
Marilyn stand zahllosen Fotografen zuvor Modell, aber
niemand fing sie so direkt, nahe und unbefangen ein wie Stern.
Den Auftrag für das legendäre Shooting erteilte die amerikanische Vogue. Um dem Sitting einen guten Rahmen zu geben,
mietete der 26-jährige Fotograf die Suite Nr. 261 im Bel-AirHotel in Los Angeles und verwandelte sie in ein provisorisches
Studio. Monroe kam fünf Stunden zu spät, aber sie hörte dann
auf Sterns Regie. Accessoires wie Schmuck und transparente
Tücher kommen zum Einsatz und werden perfekt in Szene
gesetzt. Zwölf Stunden dauert diese erste Sitzung. Marilyn
trinkt Champagner und zieht sich letztendlich ganz aus. Stern
fotografierte in Schwarz-Weiß und Farbe. Es entstehen
lebendige und unglaublich charismatische Aufnahmen.
Marilyn had worked with countless photographers, but no
one had captured photographs as direct, close and casual as
Stern did. The famous shooting was commissioned by the
American magazine Vogue. In order to have a special working
environment, Stern rented suite no. 261 at the Los Angeles
Bel-Air-Hotel, which he converted into an impromptu studio.
Monroe was five hours late but respected Stern’s directions
after that. Accessories such as jewellery and scarfs are cleverly
put to use. The first sitting lasts for twelve hours. Marilyn
drank champagne and ends up completely undressed. Stern
takes pictures in colour and in black-and-white, which turn out
extremely lively and charismatic.
Zurück in New York zeigt Stern den Redakteuren von Vogue
die Kontaktabzüge. Man ist angetan, aber die Akte waren der
Modezeitschrift zu gewagt. Man brauche mehr „schwarzweiße Modeseiten“ hieß es. Das Bel-Air-Hotel wird für drei
weitere Tage gebucht, diesmal sogar ein ganzer Bungalow.
Am ersten Tag entstehen die wunderbar grafisch wirkenden
Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografien von Marilyn im Ballkleid. Desweiteren machte Stern die bekannten Aufnahmen von Marilyn,
wie sie sich im Bett räkelt. Am nächsten Tag erscheint Marilyn
nicht zum Shooting. Am dritten Tag wird wieder fotografiert.
Stern fotografiert Marilyn diesmal liegend von oben.
Ein paar Tage später lässt sich die Schauspielerin die Kontaktabzüge zeigen. Mit transparentem Filzstift durchkreuzt sie die,
die ihr nicht gefallen. Die Dias zerkratzt sie mit einer Haar
nadel. Vier Wochen später ist Marilyn tot. Die Fotografien, die
als Hommage an den Leinwandstar gedacht waren, wurden
zum Nachruf und erschienen posthum in der Vogue.
Das vorliegende Konvolut beinhaltet 56 großformatige
Prints – 28 Silbergelatine-Abzüge und 28 Chromogenic Prints.
Alle Fotografien sind von Stern signiert oder gestempelt. Der
Großteil der Prints wurde 1992 angefertigt.

Back in New York, the editors at Vogue love the photos but
think they are too daring. They say Vogue needs more
“black-and-white fashion pages”. So the Bel-air-Hotel is booked
for another three days, this time even an entire bungalow.
On the first day, they take the characteristic, graphic-looking
photographs of Marilyn in a ball gown and of her rolling
around in bed. On the next day, Marilyn does not show up at
the set. On the third day, the session continues and Stern takes
pictures of Marilyn from above as she is lying on the ground.
A few days later, Marilyn is shown the contact prints. She
crosses out the ones she does not like with a transparent felt
tip pen and scratches the slides she does not like with a
hairpin. Four weeks later, Marilyn is dead. The photographs,
which were originally intended as homage to the film star,
are now published as a posthumous tribute in Vogue.
This lot contains 56 large format photographs – 28 gelatin silver
prints and 28 chromogenic prints. All prints, the majority of
which was made in 1992, are signed or stamped by Stern.
