Auction: Charles Clifford, Photographs and Photographic Books. 15 April, Barcelona.

[Rachel Bullough]

Session 1: Charles Clifford: 83 photographic views of Spain from between 1853 and 1863. These views are studio experiments made by Charles Clifford, creator of the first photographic archive in Spain. The photographs on sale are mostly inedited either as far as format, framing and the use of title cards are concerned or because they have been unknown until now. This important photographic production cannot be found in any of the major international collections in which the artist’s work is included. The photographs are related to the catalogue found in A Photographic Scramble through Spain, A. Marion & Co., London, (1861).

 

Session 2: Photographs and Photographic books: 230 lots from the beginnings of photography to the present day. The photographs and photographic books are by important nineteenth century artists such as: Jacques-Mandé Daguerre, Charles Marville, Auguste Salzmann, Félix Teynard, Alphonse Delaunay, Charles Clifford and J.Laurent, as well as artists who actively participated in twentieth century artistic debates during the inter-war period such as: Constantin Brancusi, Alexander Rodchenko, Joaquim Gomis, Piet Zwart, Man Ray, Brassaï, Raoul Hausmann and Emili Vilá. There are also documentary photographers such as: Dorothea Lange, George Rodger, Francesc Català-Roca, Werner Bischof, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Joan Colom, Colita and abstract photography by Annelisse Hager, Gyorgy Kepes, Myron Kozman and Mario Giacomelli. There is also an important group of photographs taken in Latin America by Hugo Brehme, Leo Matiz, Hermanos Mayo, Walter Reuter, Kurt Severin, Fritz Henle, or by contemporary artists such as: Joseph Beuys, Buby Durini, Pere Noguera, Francesc Torres, Ralph Gibson, Pierre Gonnord, I J.
