Wrapped Roman Wall - Photolithograph by Christo - 1974 ca
By Christo
Located in Napoli, IT
In February and March 1974, for a period of 40 days, a 820-foot long section of the Aurelian Walls was wrapped in polypropylene and rope, covering both sides, the top and the arches of the wall. Forty construction workers completed the temporary work of art in four days. Christo Vladimirov Javachev (Christo) and his wife Jeanne-Claude are famous for making impressive and often controversial art installations. Their works include the wrapping of the Reichstag in Berlin, the Pont Neuf in Paris, a Roman wall...

Autoportrait de Gustave Le Gray. 1851.
Located in PARIS, FR
LE GRAY Gustave Villiers-le-Bel 1820 † 1884 Le Caire et MESTRAL Auguste Rans 1812 † 1884 id. Autoportrait de Gustave Le Gray. 1851. Photographie. 338 x 243 mm (épreuve). 450 x 314 mm (montage). Feuille montée sur vélin. Manque important en pied, atteignant la pointe de la veste du photographe. Quelques très légères et fines griffures en surface. Au dos du montage : 3 gravures anciennes, et marque de collection mauve, « L. BONGARD » (lugt non décrit). Épreuve sur papier salé, d’après un négatif papier ciré sec. Numéroté « 540 » dans le négatif, dans l’angle supérieur gauche. Marque des étaux bien visibles dans le négatif, dans l’angle supérieur droit, et dans l’angle inférieur gauche. De toute rareté. Une seule autre épreuve connue : Pierre Bergé & Associés, vente du 19 mars 2015, lot n°101. La mission héliographique : Au mois de mai 1851, Gustave Le Gray est délégué par la commission des Monuments historiques pour photographier une liste de monuments remarquables du sud-ouest de la France. D’autres figures pionnières de la photographie participent à cette vaste campagne de recensement, et doivent couvrir le reste du pays : Hippolyte Bayard, Henri Le Secq, Édouard Baldus et Auguste Mestral. Le Gray décide de fusionner son itinéraire avec celui de son élève et ami, Auguste Mestral. Entre juillet et octobre 1851, équipé d’une voiture et de deux chambres noires, le tandem sillonne le territoire de la Loire aux Pyrénées, du château de Chambord à la cité de Carcassonne. Les deux hommes, qui se connaissent depuis 1848, réalisent ensemble les prises de vue - et se présenteront d’ailleurs en tant que coauteurs devant la commission. Un champ d’expérimentation Pour Gustave Le Gray, qui vient de mettre au point le « négatif papier ciré sec », la mission héliographique est un champ d’expérimentation inespéré. Pendant trois mois, les photographes exécutent jusqu’à trente prises de vue par jour, une véritable prouesse rendue possible par l’invention de Le Gray. En effet, celle-ci dispense de maintenir humides les négatifs papier, facilitant considérablement le travail en extérieur. Les feuilles peuvent être préparées jusqu’à quinze jours à l’avance, et développées plusieurs heures après la prise de vue. « Tout le monde comprendra combien ce nouveau procédé facilite les opérations en voyage », écrit Le Gray. Méthodiques, les deux hommes numérotent les négatifs dans l’ordre chronologique. Cette numérotation, allant jusqu’à 605, témoigne d’une production soutenue et indépendante, débordant largement le cadre imposé par la commission des monuments historiques. Progressivement, le recensement scientifique s’accompagne de véritables digressions artistiques. Entre leur séjour à Carcassonne – point culminant du voyage – et leur retour à Paris, les « photographistes » s’autorisent de nombreux clichés personnels : des vues d’Amélie les Bain, du Pont Palaldas et du pont du Gard. Dans les Pyrénées-Orientales, les cloîtres gothiques d’Elne et d’Arles-sur-tech servent d’écrin à deux autoportraits de Gustave Le Gray. Le premier, réalisé à Elne, est aujourd’hui en mains privées (nous n’en avons trouvé aucune reproduction dans la littérature). Le second, pris très peu de temps après, n’est connu pour l’heure que par deux épreuves, dont celle que nous présentons. Un manifeste artistique Vêtu d’un costume noir de ville, Le Gray pose sous une arche gothique, jambes croisées et cigarette à la main. La blancheur insolente des guêtres, du chapeau et du col, accroche irrésistiblement l’œil du spectateur, et rehausse l’austère architecture médiévale d’une touche de modernité et de dandysme. L’élégance et la familiarité subtile de la mise en scène rappellent, dans leur esprit, d’autres portraits de Le Gray, habitué de compositions libres et volontiers énigmatiques – nous pensons ici à son fantomatique Autoportrait dans le miroir de la table de toilette de la duchesse de Parme, réalisé la même année, où le photographe parvient à capter son ombre fuyante dans un miroir. Contrairement à ses pairs, Le Gray s’est peu consacré au portrait, lui préférant le paysage. Il en a cependant maîtrisé tous les codes, et signé d’authentiques chefs-d’œuvre en la matière : citons ici le portrait rêveur et mélancolique du dramaturge Edmond Cottinet (1849), et celui du sculpteur Auguste Clésinger (1855), d’une vigueur éblouissante, qui fut longtemps donné à son élève Félix Nadar...

Lightning/Cotton Field, limited edition photograph, archival, signed
By Mitch Dobrowner
Located in Sante Fe, NM
Lightning/Cotton Field, limited edition photograph, archival, signed The adrenaline of seeing Mother Nature during some of her finest moments will be ingrained in me forever. It is a humbling experience - and I feel fortunate to have witnessed her power and grandeur over the past 12 years. My experiences are hard to describe in words During this last trip (July 2021) we traveled over 6400 miles in 10 days crossing through 10 different states - all in my quest/passion to photograph these storm systems. But this time the events of the last year made me more aware, opened my eyes wider, and had a different effect on me. The effects of Climate Change have become obvious. The current patterns are changing and they are accelerating faster than anyone realized or predicted. Just over the past decade, the characteristics of the Jet Stream and the Gulf Stream have changed. Pandemics, droughts, devastating heatwaves, wildfires, massive floods, and rising oceans are accelerating. As I sit here in my house in Lone Pine, CA in 103-degree heat I can hardly see the outlines of Lone Pine Peak and Mount Whitney...
