Photographs

Christie's Fall Photographs auction in New York will feature exceptional works spanning the history of the medium, from twentieth-century masterworks to important contemporary photographs. The sale brings together a distinguished selection of property from private collections and offers a broad survey of the medium's artistic innovation and enduring impact.

Highlights include Robert Mapplethorpe's Man in Polyester Suit and a Peter Hujar photograph of David Wojnarowicz. The sale is further distinguished by a group of photographs by Robert Adams. Known for his understated black-and-white depictions of the American West, Adams documents the region's evolving landscape with remarkable clarity and restraint, offering a rare opportunity to acquire works by one of the defining figures of post-war American photography. Additional highlights feature works by Hiroshi Sugimoto, Helmut Newton, Thomas Ruff, Peter Hujar, André Kertész, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Candida Höfer, Zanele Muholi, Andy Warhol, Nan Goldin, Imogen Cunningham, and Ansel Adams, among others.

As market leaders in the category, Christie's continues to present photographs of exceptional quality, rarity, and historical importance, offering collectors opportunities across the full spectrum of the medium. Select highlights will be on view at Rockefeller Center, with additional property available by appointment.
