Artist | Icon | Inspiration: Women in Photography explores the role of women as artists, subjects, and innovators in a collaborative efort between Peter Fetterman and Phillips. Women have played a central role in photography throughout the history of the medium.

This auction celebrates the varied roles they have played by ofering works of art created through the lenses of women like Dorothea Lange, Diane Arbus, Graciela Iturbide, Carrie Mae Weems, Shirin Neshat and Sally Mann alongside portraits of women who continue to inspire us today, such as Rosa Parks, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Jacqueline Kennedy. We look forward to providing collectors with the opportunity to acquire important and pivotal works that celebrate every aspect of women’s historic and continuing involvement in photography.

“Long before I picked up a camera I was deeply concerned with the ways in which AfricanAmericans were depicted, and, for the most part, I didn’t like what I saw. So one way of dealing with it was to step in and rethink how black women, more specifcally, need to be represented.” Carrie Mae Weems

Carrie Mae Weems’ acclaimed Kitchen Table Series depicts the life stages and relationships of a female protagonist, played by Weems herself. In these constructed tableaux vivants, Weems uses the table as the anchor for her heroine’s life story; the site at which she embraces her partner, engages with her daughter or sits alone in contemplation. In the present lot, Weems’ character is seated alongside a male counterpart, the scene imbued with the weight and complexity of their relationship as they eye each other over their card game. By embracing the role of both sitter and photographer, Weems powerfully embodies the nuanced representation of African-American women that she found lacking in the public discourse.

Vera Lutter is one of the most innovative photographers currently documenting the constructed environment. Working with a massive room-sized pinhole camera, Lutter captures her subjects through exposures that can sometimes last days. Lutter herself remains inside the camera for much of this time, moderating and guiding the incoming light projected onto a single sheet of photographic paper, burning and dodging areas that need more or less exposure. The resulting images, each unique, monumental in scale, and reversed in tonal values, show us familiar urban terrain in a wholly new way. In the photograph ofered here, taken from 745 Fifh Avenue, New York City, the subject matter is divided equally between the city’s architectural structures and the passage of time.

Portico with Caryatids of Delphi combines photographic images with drawing and handwritten text and relates directly to Francesca Woodman’s Temple Project. This project consisted of a series of large-scale studies of draped models, referencing caryatid fgures in classical architecture, and was frst exhibited in 1980 at The Alternative Museum in New York City. While Woodman’s images in that exhibition were monumental in scale, the smaller, more intimate work ofered here presents insight into her creative process. This work was made with the diazotype technique, a positive-to-positive imaging process used primarily by engineers and architects. Woodman
adapted this industrial process to her own artistic purposes. Drawing and writing on transparent paper, on which she also placed photographic transparencies, she created a template which was contact-printed onto diazotype paper and developed with ammonia vapor. The diazotype gave Woodman a great deal of latitude in the size of her prints, and she used it to create composite images such as the one ofered here, as well as the life-sized images she made for the exhibition. The print ofered was sent by Woodman to Daniel Wolf, the frst gallerist to show her work in New York City.

Dorothea Lange’s Migrant Mother, Nipomo, California, has become an enduring icon since its making in 1936. Taken while Lange was working for the Farm Security Administration documenting the hardships of the Great Depression, Migrant Mother combines the photographer’s characteristic respect and empathy for her subjects with her compositional rigor. The photograph was reproduced widely in the press in the 1930s and in the decades to come. Through this exposure Migrant Mother transcended its original documentary purpose to become a universal symbol of motherhood and perseverance under adversity. In her recent book, Dorothea Lange: Migrant Mother, Sarah Hermanson Meister ofers a comprehensive study of the image, its history, and legacy. The photograph’s central fgure is Florence Owens Thompson, a migrant worker camped with her four daughters and other migrants alongside a farm whose crops had frozen, eliminating the possibility of paid work. Meister notes that Thompson was Cherokee, a fact unknown at the time of the photograph’s initial publication, adding an even greater degree of resonance to the image. In her assessment of the continuing relevance of Migrant Mother, Meister writes, “The superlatives that have been heaped upon it have done nothing to dilute its impact, nor have the passing decades diminished our inclination to empathize with the subjects’ plight” (pp. 15 and 18). (continued)
This print of Migrant Mother was acquired from Lange by photographer and flmmaker William Heick. Correspondence from Lange to Heick accompanying this lot documents a warm and respectful friendship between them. In Lange’s 1955 postcard she asks, “Sometime will you swap with me? A print of [Heick’s photograph] Indian Clam Digger for anything of mine you like.” It is believed that the exchange – of Clam Digger for Migrant Mother – was made shortly thereafer. Afer serving in the Navy during World War II, William Heick (1916-2012) studied photography at the California School of Fine Arts under Ansel Adams and Minor White, and maintained close friendships with Imogen Cunningham and Lange. Heick was known for his accomplished ethnographic photographs, specifcally his images of Native Americans, and produced numerous flms. His work has been shown at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Seattle Museum of Art, and many other institutions.

Estimate $7,000-9,000 Provenance Collection of Lola Cueto, Mexico City Collection of Frances Toor, Mexico City Throckmorton Fine Art, Inc., New York
Tina Modotti’s still life study of a native Mexican sculpture showcases the photographer’s embrace of Mexican culture and her skill at creating a compelling photographic composition from a minimum of elements. In this image, Modotti made the inspired choice of using tinfoil as a backdrop; placed just outside of the feld of focus, the foil creates a mysterious and visually arresting background for the lively bird fgure. As evidenced by the notation on the reverse of its mount, this photograph comes originally from the collection of Mexican artist Lola Cueto (1897-1978). Modotti and Cueto were friends, and both were involved in Mexico City’s dynamic 1920s art scene. Cueto’s work combined elements of Cubism and other aspects of Modernism with Mexican folk art. This photograph was subsequently owned by another friend of Modotti’s, Frances Toor (1890-1956), the anthropologist and publisher of the infuential magazine, Mexican Folkways.

Afer the death of Kuehn’s wife, Warner took on the care of the family’s four children and ran the household. She also served as a frequent collaborator with Kuehn on a series of photographs, of which the image ofered here is a prime example. Kuehn was a skilled photographic crafsman, and experimented with an array of techniques, including the photogravure.

Few photographers of the 19th century created as rich an oeuvre as Julia Margaret Cameron, or had as lasting an impact on the photography to come. Cameron pushed past the conventions of portraiture to create images referencing literature, history, and art. While aligned with Pre-Raphaelite painting, Cameron’s work is emphatically photographic, flled with detail and defnition. The photograph ofered here is of Annie Chinery, a favorite model of Cameron’s, who married her son Ewen in 1869, the year this portrait was made. Cameron’s inscription “for her dear Charlotte” likely refers to Charlotte Norman, another young woman within Cameron’s large circle of friends and family.

76. Sally Mann “I fnd the very nature of motherhood fraught with conficts and fears, as well as with humor and tenderness. . . Photographing my children in those quirky, often emotionally charged moments has helped me acknowledge and resolve some of the inherent contradictions between the idea or image of motherhood and its reality. And it has opened up to me a world of exquisite beauty in a form and place where I would have least expected it.� Sally Mann

Using found materials as her subject matter, American artist Anne Collier documents our visual culture with the same approach as a classic still life photographer. Her intelligent and slyly playful imagery reframes appropriation for the 21st century. Collier’s Questions series documents a sequence of printed educational materials, each outlining a schematic approach to analyzing an academic problem. Removed from the context of the classroom, and presented as individual works, these questions and discussion prompts are transformed into a gentle but direct interrogation of the experience of looking at art. The suite of Questions ofered here was shown in the Paper exhibition at Le Musée d’Art Modern et d’Art Contemporaine in Nice, France, in 2012. Questions was also included in the major 20142015 retrospective of Collier’s work at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, which toured to Bard College and The Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, and in her solo 2018 exhibition at FRAC Normandie Rouen, France. A suite is also in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

NY Guide for Prospective Buyers Each Phillips auction is governed by the applicable Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty. All prospective bidders should read these sections carefully. They govern the purchasing agreement under which you buy at auction from Phillips. They may be also amended by saleroom addendum or auctioneer’s announcement during the auction. The complete Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty applicable to this auction (Version October 18, 2018) are found online at phillips. com, along with detailed information on each lot. Pre-Sale Estimates Pre-sale estimates are intended as a guide for prospective buyers. Any bid within the high and low estimate range should, in our opinion, ofer a chance of success. However, many lots achieve prices below or above the pre-sale estimates. Where “Estimate on Request” appears, please contact the specialist department for further information. It is advisable to contact us closer to the time of the auction as estimates can be subject to revision. Pre-sale estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or any applicable taxes. All Lots are Subject to ‘Buyer’s Premium’ Phillips charges the successful bidder a commission, or buyer’s premium, on the hammer price of each lot sold. The buyer’s premium is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price at the following rates: 25% of the hammer price up to and including $400,000, 20% of the portion of the hammer price above $400,000 up to and including $4,000,000 and 13.5% of the portion of the hammer price above $4,000,000. Condition and Condition Reports Phillips does not warrant or guarantee condition on any lot. Solely as a convenience to clients, Phillips may provide condition reports on many lots, which are also available online on the lot detail pages. If there is not a condition report available, that is not a representation that a lot is in perfect condition. While condition reports are prepared honestly and carefully, our staff are not professional restorers or trained conservators. We therefore encourage all prospective buyers to inspect all lots at our pre-sale exhibitions, and contact our staff with any questions. Bidding at Auction You may bid in the auction in person, online, on the phone, or by placing an absentee bid. The easiest way to arrange or register to bid at auction is to set up a client account online. Go to our homepage, phillips.com and fill out the account form. When you want to register for an auction, click Register on sale pages or lot detail pages, and you’ll confirm your account details, be asked for a credit card number for identification purposes and our Bids Department will process your request. We recommend registering at least 24 hours prior to sale to ensure that you can bid. Good luck!
Transport and Shipping As a free service for buyers, Phillips will wrap purchased lots for hand carry only. Alternatively, we will either provide packing, handling and shipping services or coordinate with shipping agents in order to facilitate such services for property purchased at Phillips. In the event that the property is collected in New York by the buyer or the buyer’s designee (including any private carrier) for subsequent transport out of state, Phillips may be required by law to collect New York sales tax, regardless of the lot’s ultimate destination. Please refer to Paragraph 17 of the Conditions of Sale for more information. Some lots are sold under special conditions. Phillips uses the following symbols to designate these lots: O Guaranteed Property Lots designated with the symbol [O] are the subject of a minimum price guarantee. In such cases Phillips has guaranteed to the seller of the lot that regardless of the outcome of the sale the seller shall receive no less than a minimum sum. This guarantee may be provided solely by Phillips or jointly with a third party. ♦ Third Party Guarantee Where Phillips has agreed to a minimum price guarantee it assumes the fnancial risk of a lot failing to sell or selling for less than the minimum price guarantee. Because the sums involved can be signifcant Phillips may choose to share the burden of that fnancial risk with a third party. The third party shares the risk by committing in advance of the sale, usually by way of a written bid, to buy the lot for an agreed amount whether or not there are competing bidders for the lot. If there are competing bidders third party guarantors may also bid above any written bid. In this way the third party guarantor assumes the risk of the bidding not reaching the amount of the minimum price guarantee. In return for underwriting or sharing this risk Phillips will usually compensate the third party. The compensation may be in the form of a fxed fee or an amount calculated by reference to the hammer price of the lot. If the third party guarantor is the successful bidder they will be required to pay the full hammer price and buyer’s premium and will not be otherwise compensated. Disclosure of fnancial interest by third parties Phillips requires third party guarantors to disclose their fnancial interest in the lot to anyone whom they are advising. If you are contemplating bidding on a lot which is the subject of a third party guarantee and you are being advised by someone or if you have asked someone to bid on your behalf you should always ask them to confrm whether or not they have a fnancial interest in the lot.
∆ Property in Which Phillips Has an Ownership Interest Lots with this symbol indicate that Phillips owns the lot in whole or in part or has an economic interest in the lot equivalent to an ownership interest. •No Reserve Unless indicated by a •, all lots in this catalogue are offered subject to a reserve. A reserve is the confidential value established between Phillips and the seller and below which a lot may not be sold. The reserve for each lot will not exceed the low pre-sale estimate. Σ Regulated Species Items made of or incorporating certain designated plant or animal material, including but not limited to coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, Brazilian rosewood, rhinoceros horn or tortoiseshell, (irrespective of age, percentage, or value), may require a license or certificate prior to exportation and additional licenses or certificates upon importation to any foreign country. Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country, and vice versa. We recommend that prospective bidders check with their own local restrictions regarding such requirements prior to placing a bid. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any necessary export or import licenses or certificates as well as any other required documentation. Please note that lots containing potentially regulated plant or animal material are marked as a convenience to our clients, but Phillips does not accept liability for errors or for failing to mark lots containing protected or regulated species. Privacy Our Privacy Policy is available at www.phillips.com or by emailing dataprotection@phillips.com and sets out: (i) the types of personal data we will or may collect and process; (ii) the purposes for which we will or may process your personal data; (iii) the lawful bases we rely on when processing your personal data; (iv) your rights in respect of our processing of your personal data; and (v) various other information as required by applicable laws. Phillips premises, sale, and exhibition venues are subject to CCTV video surveillance and recording for security, client service and bid monitoring purposes.
