Penn’s portrait of Audrey Hepburn was taken to mark her Broadway debut in Gigi and appeared in Vogue in the issue of November 1st 1951 (the play opened a week later). It was the magazine’s first published picture of the 22-year-old actress and dancer. Hepburn was fond of repeating that on arrival ‘the first two

apartment with Gigi’s creator, the elderly novelist Colette. By this time, Penn had abandoned the two stylistic motifs that had marked out his studio portraiture almost as still life studies: firstly the positioning of the sitter on or against an unravelled length of dark carpet, and secondly the ‘corner portrait’, wherein sitters were required to arrange themselves – or in a few cases allow themselves to be arranged – in the apex of two perpendicular studio flats. In both cases Penn made either full-length studies or at least photographed his subjects from the waist up, observing their movement (or lack of it) within these unanticipated and restrictive spaces. By 1950, he had replaced these conceits with a closer scrutiny of the sitter’s face. The resulting portraits, of which this head and shoulders study is emblematic, were characterised by tight and unexpected close cropping, any trace of the studio now confined to a simple neutral backdrop (he had experimented with tight cropping-in on his first series of nudes in 1949). The interaction of photographer and sitter was, if still off-kilter, at least warmer – a concentration on gaze and expression rather than a cold-blooded observation of physical contortion.

Presented in this lot is the complete suite of Portfolio works by Robert Mapplethorpe, X, Y, Z, the story and sum of everything we expect from him as an artist. These portfolios were created to exist and be seen together. X depicts part of Mapplethorpe’s own world. He was an active participant – the images reveal something that he was proud to belong to, and they have undisputed dignity. The subjects are posed neatly, bodies of iron that shine with elegance; the images beg the question, ‘Why shouldn’t we accept beauty in this?’, even if we don’t want to answer. Polarity is ever-present in Mapplethorpe’s works – so free and uninhibited yet contrived and austere – a gentleman and a promiscuous dandy with an attitude which goes beyond shame and punches straight to the heart, leaving an indelible imprint. No matter what the viscosity of the activity, there is still calm. The viewer is perhaps the only guilty party in presuming that the interactions are causing harm, when actually we are witnessing pleasure. A portrait of a tradesman by Irving Penn or a stoic depiction of a member of German society by August Sander can offer no more credence or respect. Y concentrates solely on the flower. Mapplethorpe explores the form through manipulation of light and shadow – through experimentation and careful balance he stimulates the heartbeat of the inanimate blind or the still Gardenia. Nothing about these images could ever be confused with or described as a snapshot. The flowers are isolated like his other subjects, statuesque as any Greek marble, exalted on a platform, sometimes naked and at other times with props (reflecting his portrait style), elevating them above the mundane. Z illustrates the link between sex and art which was purely and simply Mapplethorpe’s life. Again the stage is set, this time with his reference to the black male. The portraits among these works are representations of ‘fantastical chic’, figureheads of masculinity, the most majestic kings. Nothing is plucked, startled, from the streets to unnerve us or jar our conscience – Mapplethorpe’s mainstream 1960s formalism is rock solid. Unfortunately with works such as these he was – like a bird caught on the wire – wide open not only to critical acclaim, but also to criticism; his images push the boundaries of ‘modernity’ while their composition would fit nicely within the photographic conventions of the nineteenth century, a period that Mapplethorpe admired and collected.

In the 1970s and 1980s Chris Killip photographed in the North East of England, documenting the social and political landscape of the time, and singling out subjects which have subsequently become symbolic of an era – the effects of de-industrialisation, the onset of Thatcherism, and the strength of human optimism in the face of hardship and adversity. This youth’s tightly-wound body and his expression of frustration receive full aperture in Killip’s medium format composition. The camera becomes a microscope for a slice of life shown to us without sympathy for the discomfort of the witness; should we offer comfort to the subject, or stand for a moment in his abrasive world? It is a sensibility not dissimilar to that explored by the great Dave Heath in his photo essay A Dialogue of Solitude – the feeling that fellow man is disposable, a lack of empathy for other people considered to exist in parallel but not in tune with our own lives. The slogan ‘Our Green and Pleasant Land’ is deftly spat upon by Killip’s images, which favour the proud and the strong over the romantic. This image, among others, culminated in Killip’s 1988 book In Flagrante, which has become one of the most sought after, admired and collected photo books of recent times. The photographs were also shown at London’s Serpentine Gallery in 1985 as part of the exhibition Another Country, alongside works by another notable photographer of Killip’s generation, Graham Smith. Chris Killip was a founder member of the Side Gallery, Newcastle-uponTyne, in the early 1970s, and was Director there between 1977–79. He has received numerous awards, including the Henri Cartier-Bresson Award for the body of work In Flagrante, and has been the Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard Unversity since 1994.

In 2004, Neville spent a year as an artist in residence in Port Glasgow, the world centre for shipbuilding 50 years ago, now a town facing industrial and economic decline. His Port Glasgow Book Project was a revolutionary public artwork that sought to challenge notions of ownership, appropriation, dissemination, and political and social division. In particular, it looked at how class and social divide is reinforced through images. The concept was to produce and distribute a hardback book of ‘social documentary’ images, with high production values, that subverted conventional ways in which such books are disseminated as ‘art’, or ‘coffeetable’, and questioned the way in which social documentary photography sometimes depends on an inherent framework of exploitation. The book was uniquely delivered, free, to the 8,000 households in the Port by the members of the local Boys’ Football Club. It was not available anywhere else, commercially or otherwise. Once delivered, each recipient had singular ownership of the book, and could choose to cherish it as a social document, discard it, or even attempt to sell it on eBay.

Another example of this work is held in the collections of Martin Parr, The National Galleries of Scotland and The Arts Council of England.

“When I did my first architectural series, in 1987–91, I chose the typical, undistinguished buildings my generation grew up surrounded by. I thought that high architecture might overshadow the image itself, that a Mies building would be too beautiful. I was worried that there would be too much Mies and too little Ruff. But after gaining experience making various series in the meantime, I thought I could transform even Mies architecture into a Ruff image. When Julian [Heymen] proposed the project in 1999, I realised I was ready for Mies – that I could make his architecture look different from the way it had appeared in previous photographs.” (Thomas Ruff, ‘A Thousand Words: Thomas Ruff talks about “l.m.v.d.r.” ’, Artforum, vol.

The Utopian, illusion-inducing artificial gardens that Nicolas Faure has discovered along Switzerland’s highways can only be seen from a distance. They are invisible to those in passing vehicles because of the speed at which the vehicles are travelling. Nor do the gardens reveal themselves to pedestrians – the spaces are for the most part enclosed and in any case off-bounds. These ‘compensation zones’, created to diminish the effects of the wide-spread use of concrete, usually border on the highways directly. Faure’s photographs make it possible not only to see differently; they take a new look at landscape, showing a form of beauty in no way nostalgic and yet central to modern concerns, including ecological ones. His images also make it possible to understand the bond that man – or, more prosaically, the federal administration – has to nature, or at least to the idea of it. (Exhibition catalogue, Nicolas Faure: Landscape A, Lausanne Musée de l’Elysée, 2005, p. 6)

The German artist Michael Reisch studied under Bernd Becher at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf in the early 1990s. Reisch’s imagination works within the photograph, processing a wide range of references, while at the same time creating overlaps between nature, sculpture, and architecture. Each work is a system whose visual effect depends, above all, on the way in which it differs from reality. Each photograph is a construction that blends photographic and sculptural modes of thinking within a model and through which the specific work of art also becomes evident as a photograph.

Michel Journiac invented a radically new way of making art, melding the anatomical with the sociological. Heralded by some as one of the most important of post-war artists, he dissected and projected the human condition by exploring themes such as femininity, death and the sacred. Once faced with AIDS, the subjects he concentrated on became more disturbing and related to his own suffering. After his death there was a renaissance of interest in his work, especially among younger artists. His work is represented both in private and important international institutional collections.

Frank Thiel has documented Berlin for more than a decade, photographing a city that seems constantly in flux, its centre unclear. In fact this ever-changing urban landscape suits the focus and interest of Thiel, who is concerned with the process of construction, the incomplete and the temporary. Although his chosen subject-matter is somewhat clinical the images are veiled with romanticism; ruined buildings and austere structures become reminiscent of abstract paintings, their muted colours seductive beyond the actual content.

Thiel has exhibited globally and his works are contained in the following collections among others: Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea, Santiago de Compostela, Spain; Museu National Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain; National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, Canada; Fotomuseum Winterthur, Switzerland; and Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Sweden.

In Today’s Life and War, Gohar Dashti presents ten photos depicting a complex relationship between the daily experiences and the internal psychic experiences of a young Iranian couple. Her works initiate a multi-layered viewing process, beginning with a seemingly innocuous glimpse at the mundane activities of this couple and extending to the disconcerting realization of the presence of military tanks, bunkers and soldiers. According to Dashti, she depicts a “post-war couple” that is “symbolic of (her) generation” who are “entangled in the memories and realities of war as a background to their daily life.” Dashti’s particular body of work offers a unique voice from her contemporary experience and depicts how, in the context of Iranian artists, political and historical events create specific cultural memories that have specific generational significances while referencing a more general communal trauma that spans generations. For the post-war generation, the sense of mourning reflects the unrecoverable lost innocence and youth and addresses the high social price of war. In fact, what we are presented with is an articulate, reflective and profound statement that allows us to feel a sense of mourning and a sense of hope. (Jolaine Frizzell, The Persistence of Trauma in Post-war Iran: Gohar Dashti and Today’s Life and War, 2009)

The absence of reference to the condition of a lot in the catalogue entry does not imply that the lot is free from faults or imperfections. Solely as a convenience to clients, Phillips de Pury & Company may provide condition reports. In preparing such reports, our specialists assess the condition in a manner appropriate to the estimated value of the property and the nature of the auction in which it is included. 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 the property at the pre-sale exhibitions and recommend, particularly in the case of any lot of significant value, that you retain your own restorer or professional advisor to report to you on the property’s condition prior to bidding. Any prospective buyer of photographs or prints should always request a condition report because all such property is sold unframed, unless otherwise indicated in the condition report. If a lot is sold framed, Phillips de Pury & Company accepts no liability for the condition of the frame. If we sell any lot unframed, we will be pleased to refer the purchaser to a professional framer. Pre-auction Viewing Pre-auction viewings are open to the public and free of charge. Our specialists are available to give advice and condition reports at viewings or by appointment. Electrical and mechanical lots All lots with electrical and/or mechanical features are sold on the basis of their decorative value only and should not be assumed to be operative. It is essential that, prior to any intended use, the electrical system is verified and approved by a qualified electrician.

3 ThE aUCTION Conditions of Sale As noted above, the auction is governed by the Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty. All prospective bidders should read them carefully. They may be amended by saleroom addendum or auctioneer’s announcement. Interested Parties announcement In situations where a person allowed to bid on a lot has a direct or indirect interest in such lot, such as the beneficiary or executor of an estate selling the lot, a joint owner of the lot or a party providing or participating in a guarantee on the lot, Phillips de Pury & Company will make an announcement in the saleroom that interested parties may bid on the lot. Consecutive and Responsive Bidding The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may further bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve by placing consecutive bids or bids in response to other bidders.

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 VAT. Pre-Sale Estimates in US Dollars and Euros Although the sale is conducted in pounds sterling, the pre-sale estimates in the auction catalogues may also be printed in US dollars and/or euros. Since the exchange rate is that at the time of catalogue production and not at the date of auction, you should treat estimates in US dollars or euros as a guide only. Catalogue Entries Phillips de Pury & Company may print in the catalogue entry the history of ownership of a work of art, as well as the exhibition history of the property and references to the work in art publications. While we are careful in the cataloguing process, provenance, exhibition and literature references may not be exhaustive and in some cases we may intentionally refrain from disclosing the identity of previous owners. Please note that all dimensions of the property set forth in the catalogue entry are approximate. Condition of lots Our catalogues include references to condition only in the descriptions of multiple works (e.g., prints). Such references, though, do not amount to a full description of condition. The absence of reference to the condition of a lot in the catalogue entry does not imply that the lot is free from faults or imperfections. Solely as a convenience to clients, Phillips de Pury & Company may provide condition reports. In preparing such reports, our specialists assess the condition in a manner appropriate to the estimated value of the property and the nature of the auction in which it is included. 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 the property at the pre-sale exhibitions and recommend, particularly in the case of any lot of significant value, that you retain your own restorer or professional advisor to report to you on the property’s condition prior to bidding. Any prospective buyer of photographs or prints should always request a condition report because all such property is sold unframed, unless otherwise indicated in the condition report. If a lot is sold framed, Phillips de Pury & Company accepts no liability for the condition of the frame. If we sell any lot unframed, we will be pleased to refer the purchaser to a professional framer. Pre-auction Viewing Pre-auction viewings are open to the public and free of charge. Our specialists are available to give advice and condition reports at viewings or by appointment. Electrical and mechanical lots All lots with electrical and/or mechanical features are sold on the basis of their decorative value only and should not be assumed to be operative. It is essential that, prior to any intended use, the electrical system is verified and approved by a qualified electrician.
