THE ROMANTIC AGONY 56 AUCTION Catalogue (II) 20 juin

PRINCIPLES OF DESCRIPTION AND DUE DILIGENCE • The cataloguing principles used have been specially established to describe the history and stigma of authentic positive photographic prints, pictures and not images or late editions. When comparable prints were accessible, the lots offered in this auction have been compared in quality and priority.

• The identifications have been carefully checked, when a print could not be attributed, there is an indication of the society where its creator lived.

• The provenance and legitim origin of every lot have been carefully checked in order to propose to the buyers a peaceful enjoyment of their properties.

• The following cataloguing order is adopted: • Name of the photographer or atelier, followed by the dates, • Title, in italic when given by the photographer, with the geographical location and date of production of the print, the abbreviation “c.” stands for circa, • Material description, photographic process, dimensions of the print (never the mount) in mm, height before width, signatures, stamps and captions,

• Comments, quotes, history of publications and eventual exhibitions, • Estimations, the low and high estimates are separated by one or two bid increases. The reserve corresponds to one bid under the low estimate. For example, when lot 314 has an estimation of 300/400 euros, orders and commissions will be accepted from 250 euros, level where the auction will start.

We are pleased to present you the second catalogue of our two-day photography sale.

From all over Europe and overseas, we have received little-known photographic material unearthed from sleeping bookshelves, dog-houses, attics and basements. We include a few gems from the André Jamme’s Collection, a nice set of photographs of Paris and the Paris Commune from the Jean-Pierre Faur Collection (a Paris-based bibliophile).

The enjoyment of investigation, combined with rigorous material analysis, has been our daily bread for the past three months, in Brussels and Montreuil, where five future art market specialists enrolled in professional training with Drouot, together with a young Turkish videoartist joined the laboratory to prepare this catalogue, selecting the photographs as tangible objects rewarding aesthetic contemplation through their young eyes. The prints that could not be dated have not been included.

The Friday 19th June catalogue presents a selection of 267 photographs in chronological order, questioning if, when Photography was practiced in a continuous present, it was either nourished or encumbered by a living past. The editing of the catalogue as a Picture book with piquant juxtapositions was in that sense a prominent critical tool*.

The Saturday 20th June catalogue describes 533 lots, organized by place of origin, without distinction about the photography’s myriad vernacular applications.

Overall, we offer a total of 800 lots with more than six thousand documentary photographs, which may be of particular interest to libraries, museums, private collectors, and experienced and young amateurs.

We plan to organize photography auctions, on a two-day basis, twice a year, in Autumn and Spring, with the small treasures and finds from Europe and overseas entrusted to us. The next appointment for amateurs is the Christmas Auction on December 11-12, 2015 . *”The key here is the twin conviction that photography has an epicenter and that the conventional tools of art history aren’t of much use in locating it.. Even the most ordinary, unembellished camera records—perhaps especially those pure products of uninflected camera vision—embody the medium’s mercurial aesthetic potential. An indication of the sustained vitality of that perception is Michel Frizot’s recent book, Every Photograph is an Enigma, which might be described as a sketch for a grammar of the reception of photographs” (Peter Galassi, Pierre de Fenoÿl’s Anonymes: Another Look, 2015).

“The GOELRO Plan was implemented during a 10to 15-year period. According to the Plan, the territory of the Russian SFSR was divided into eight regions, with distinct development strategies due to specific features of each region: Southern Region, Central Industrial region, Northern Region, Ural Region, Volga Region, Turkestan Region, Caucasus Region and Western Siberia Region. The Plan included construction of a network of 30 regional power plants, including ten large hydroelectric power plants, and numerous electric-powered large industrial enterprises.] It was intended to increase the total national power output per year to 8.8 billion kWh, as compared to 1.9 billion kWh in Imperial Russia in 1913.

Soviet propaganda claimed that the plan was basically fulfilled by 1931. The term "Ilyich's lamp" for an electric bulb, a reference to Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, is a reminder of the Plan period”.

Vintage ferrotyped silver print, 146x203 mm, signed on mount under the picture.

A major retrospective photography exhibition Luke Swank: Modernist Photographer was on view at Carnegie Museum of Art from November 5, 2005 through February 5, 2006. Active from the mid-to-late 1920s until his premature death in 1944, Luke Swank was one of the pioneers of modernism in photography. At the height of his career, his work was included in several prestigious exhibitions in New York, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, and received praise from critics, art historians, and renowned photographers... Swank's large and varied body of work moved from an early pictorial style in the late 1920s to precise, sharp, modernist images that combine a documentary reality with abstraction and the surreal.

Swank's photographs from the 1930s portray the city of Pittsburgh, the nation's center of industrial innovation and economic vitality, as well as other industrial subjects with a singular documentary vision” (Carnegie Museum of Art). € 1.000/1.200

“In 1931, at 41 years of age and still selling cars in Johnstown (manager of the family automobile dealership), Swank started to enter his work in competitive photographic salons. He was accepted into the All-American Photographic Salon and the Fifteenth Annual International Salon of Pictorial Photography, Los Angeles; and the Eighteenth Pittsburgh Salon of Photographic Art, Carnegie Institute (now Carnegie Museum of Art), Pittsburgh. During this period, his photographs rapidly moved away from the romance of pictorialism and toward the hardedged realism of modernist photographers lead by Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, and others.

Julien Levy gave Luke Swank a one-man show in his gallery in 1933, Photographs of the American Scene... By the end of 1934, the Depression had taken its toll on the Swank family businesses, and Luke Swank decided to become a professional photographer. ” (Carnegie Museum of Art). € 1.000/1.200
