Numbered, signed, and dated “19/150 roy Lichtenstein ‘96” in pencil l.r. Color screenprint on paper, image size 19 3/4 x 13 3/8 in. (50.1 x 33.8 cm), framed. Condition: Not examined out of frame. Provenance: A private Florida collection. N.B. Lichtenstein’s later prints refer back to his earlier ones and their Pop sensibility, employing Ben-Day dots and a limited palette of primary colors and black outlines. At the same time many of the later works refer to looking at art on a larger scale. His Haystack and Cathedral series were direct references to Monet’s series paintings of the 1890s. Later series such as 1984-85’s Landscapes quote or at least reference earlier masters such as Van Gogh and Matisse. In his Art Critic of 1996, Lichtenstein presents a cubist portrait of a female critic—a nod to Picasso—looking at a painting. We see only a corner of the work and its frame, reminiscent of Lichtenstein’s Paintings series of 1982-85. Lichtenstein was not always well received by critics, especially in his early days. The subject is thus ironic for the artist as he nears the end of his career. $25,000-35,000

Signed, numbered, and dated “RAUSCHENBERG 6/75 ‘71” on the reverse, publisher’s copyright and stamp on the reverse.

111

N.B. Rauschenberg’s Cardbird multiples appear simple, both in their materials and construction. His early adoption of collage and assemblage techniques remained prevalent in his work throughout his career, and he often combined found objects and images in his works. In 1970 Rauschenberg became a permanent resident of Captiva Island in Florida (although he maintained a studio in New York), and began a series of constructions made of corrugated boxes, which the artist referred to as Cardboards. The Cardbirds are an ironic twist on the Cardboards. What looks like a seemingly simple arrangement of cardboard scraps is actually a labor-intensive facsimile of a cardboard collage. Each Cardbird is based on a maquette made with found pieces of cardboard. Rauschenberg then used images of the original pieces of cardboard to create lithographic and screenprinted reproductions of the scraps, which were then laminated onto cardboard to reproduce the original concept. $4,000-6,000

132 Francis Frith (British, 1822-1898) Street View in Cairo, from the album Egypt, Sinai and Jerusalem: A Series of Twenty Photographic Views. Signed and dated “Frith 1858” in the negative l.l., titled and identified on the pre-printed mount. Albumen silver print mounted to album page, image/ sheet size 19 x 15 1/4 in. (48.3 x 38.8 cm), matted, unframed. Condition: Discoloration along right edge, overall yellowing to print, scattered light fox marks and water stains or similar along bottom edge of mount. Provenance: Property from the collection of Harvey Shipley Miller, proceeds to benefit the Philadelphia Museum of Art. N.B. Francis Frith turned to photography in the early 1850s, and in 1856 made his first trip to Egypt, traveling up the Nile from Cairo to Abu Simbel, and photographing ancient monuments and locations using a stereoscopic camera and two large format cameras with different negative sizes (8x10 and 16x20). Despite the challenging environmental conditions, Frith succeeded in producing his arresting images using a portable darkroom with wet-plate collodion on glass negatives. His use of three negative formats demonstrates the commercial nature of his enterprise and the high demand in mid19th century England for pictorial evidence of Middle Eastern subjects. 132

The successful sale of Frith’s views financed his next trip to Palestine, Syria, and Egypt in late 1857, and in the summer of 1859, he returned to Egypt, traveling up the Nile to the Fifth Cataract, and venturing further south than any other photographer before him. Settling back in Britain, he opened his own firm in Reigate, Surrey, near London, to publish and sell his images, as well as the work of other photographers. $2,500-3,500 133 Francis Frith (British, 1822-1898) Mount Serbal, From the Wádee Feyrán, Egypt, 1858-60.

N.B. After his move from Budapest to Paris in 1925, André Kertész spent a decade photographing unusual juxtapositions and scenes found wandering the city’s streets. He also experimented with optical distortions. In 1933 he was commissioned to create a series of nudes for the French satirical magazine Le Sourire. Using mirrors and a camera fitted with a special lens, he created some 200 images of female forms—some identifiable, others beyond recognition—that float between representation and abstraction. While not an active participant in the Surrealist movement, Kertész’s disquieting nude distortions are infused with its tenets. $5,000-7,000

Provenance: Gift of Carl Zigrosser to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, 1975; sold with the approval of the Trustees of the Philadelphia Museum of Art to benefit acquisition funds. N.B. As a founding member of the PhotoSecession and publisher of Camera Work, Alfred Stieglitz was a major force in the promotion and elevation of photography as a fine art in America at the turn of the 20th century.

98

While Stieglitz was based in New York City, he created some of his most exploratory photographs, including his celebrated Equivalents series of clouds, at his country estate in Lake George. Another subject to which he first turned his attention in 1932 was that of a stand of poplar trees, which he photographed from multiple angles and distances. These compositions reflect his shift from a Pictorialist to a modernist “straight� aesthetic, punctuated by the power lines that cross through the lower left corner, while also reflecting his embrace of the poplars and other trees on the property as a source of personal meditation. This photograph was originally in the personal collection of Carl Zigrosser, who served as curator of prints, drawings, and rare books at the Philadelphia Museum of Art from 1941 to 1963. $8,000-12,000

Signed and numbered “Irving Penn 4/20” in pencil on the backing with additional pencil annotations and copyright and edition stamps. Platinum/palladium print on Rives paper mounted to aluminum, image size 18 3/4 x 12 1/8 in. (47.8 x 30.8 cm), framed. Condition: Good. Provenance: Estate of Richard E. Anderson, New York, New York/Redding, Connecticut. N.B. One of the most prolific and celebrated fashion photographers of the 20th century, Irving Penn created a series of minimalist studio portraits that were noted for capturing and isolating unique aspects of his subjects’ personalities. In 1948, Penn pushed together two studio flats to create a sharper than 90 degree corner into which he placed his sitters. Some lean casually against the walls or take on interesting poses while sitting. Others, like Duchamp, appear wedged into the claustrophobic space, which Penn described as surprisingly comforting to his subjects. For his “corner” portraits, Penn photographed a wide range of artists, writers, dancers, socialites, musicians, and other celebrities, including Truman Capote, Joe Louis, and the Duchess of Windsor. $15,000-25,000

196 Sally Mann (American, b. 1951) Untitled, 1993, printed 1997, from the series Mother Land. Signed, dated, and numbered “Sally Mann 1993 3/10� in pencil on the backing l.r., identified on a label from Edwynn Houk Gallery, New York, on the backing. Gelatin silver enlargement print toned with tea, sight size 30 x 38 in. (76.3 x 96.6 cm), framed. Condition: Not examined out of frame.

N.B. Sally Mann is perhaps best known for her Intimate Family series, which captures her young children and husband on their family farm and its surrounding landscape in Virginia. This body of work has been both celebrated and criticized for the tension between innocence and sensuousness expressed in images of her often nude children swimming, sleeping, dressing up, or nursing cuts.

Mann’s landscape series Mother Land grew out of this project. Taken with a large format camera in rural Virginia and Georgia, the photographer views these images as portraits of sites intertwined with human history that convey the exquisite beauty of the natural environment. The antique lenses she employs create distortions and plays of light that evoke a sense of memory and time both past and passing. $8,000-12,000

Provenance: Edwynn Houk Gallery, New York, to a private Massachusetts collection.
