On November 27 at 3 pm, Villa Grisebach Auktionen will hold its fall auction in modern and contemporary photography in Berlin with around 250 lots for sale.
Spearheaded by Larry Clark's portfolio "Tulsa", published in 1980, with an estimate of 40,000-60,000 euro (the euro is currently $1.33), Villa Grisebach starts off its fall auction with this American classic. Including 50 images, Clark's portfolio documents the youth scene of his hometown in the late 1960s with an unsparing and direct attitude.
Other masterpieces offered in this sale are the well-known "Portfolio 1" by the renown German architectural photographer Werner Mantz and published by Edition Galerie Schürmann & Kicken in 1977 (12,000-18,000 euro), as well as Ruth Orkin's "American Girl in Italy", which by now has been recognized as an icon in the history of photography (8,000-10,000 euro).
Photographs by Albert Renger-Patzsch will be represented in this auction with a series of garden landscapes depicting the country estate of the Warburg family near Hamburg. Commonly considered as rarities, several exceptional vintage prints are also on sale this fall, including a portrait of Ellen Auerbach by Grete Stern (estimate of 3,000-4,000 euro) and an image taken by the American photographer Helen Levitt depicting James Agee, as well as a unpublished variation around 1940 from the series "The Reds".
