Comment Philippe Garner, International Head, Christie’s Photographs, says: “Today’s sale offered a wide range of photographs that stimulated lively interest across all categories. The two top prices achieved for works by Ansel Adams bode well for the upcoming New York sale on April 11 of a single-owner collection of works by the artist. Many clients participated in the sale, with active bidding from Christie’s LIVE™.”
