comunicato stampa

Parallel to the Art Forum Berlin (September 30 to October 4, 2006), Lempertz will hold an auction with selected works of contemporary photography in their Berlin branch on 30 September 2006. Some of the highlights among the 43 lots are works by Bernd and Hilla Becher, Jurgen Klauke, Katharina Sieverding, Helmut Newton, Lewis Baltz, and Loretta Lux.

Beginning with 1970's and 1980's creations by artists like Jurgen Klauke, Bernd and Hilla Becher, and Gerd Bonfert, followed by works of Becher students Thomas Ruff, Thomas Struth, Axel Hutte, Boris Becker, and Jorg Sasse, the auction will continue with photos by young modern artists such as Daniel & Geo Fuchs, Michael Wesely, Gotz Diergarten, and Loretta Lux.

Helmut Newton is represented by a multitude of his most well-known 'Nudes and Celebrities', estimated between 12,000 to 18,000 Euro (lots 19-28). In addition, the folio 'Cyberwoman I-VIII' with seven photos (lot 18, 18,000 to 20,000 Euro), and a lot of five nudes for 10,000 Euro (lot 17) are being offered. The most expensive work is Jurgen Klauke's 'Fremdsuggestion' (part of 'Sonntagsneurosen'): a large-scale, three-part photographic work from 1990/92 for 30,000 Euro (lot 12).

The American Lewis Baltz is represented by a colour photograph of an Air France computer control center for 15,000 Euro (lot 39). A self-portrait by Dresden's Loretta Lux, presently in high demand, is offered at the same limit (lot 36). Photographs that not only show the image of women in Islam, have made Shirin Nesbat well-known; she is represented here with three works estimated up to 9,000 Euro (lots 14 ff.). Rankin's 'Eva' graces the catalogue cover and plays her game with the snake; 12,000 Euro is the estimate for this lot 43. A four-part photographic work by Katharina Sieverding from 1992, 'Deutschland wird deutscher', is offered at 18,000 Euro (lot 13). The portrait 'The Kach Family 2' by Thomas Struth has an estimate of 10,000 Euro (lot 11). A dandelion field seen from above and 160x200 cms in size, by Boris Becker, is valued at 10,000-12,000 Euro. Axel Mutte's black and white work 'Malmantile' from 1988/89, is estimated at 18,000 Euro (lot 10). Bernd and Hilla Becher's well-known classic photos from 1978: water storage tanks, are appraised at 10,000 Euro (lot 1). Michael Wesely, who documented the reconstruction of New York's MOMA in a long-term study, shows a still-life of tulips (5,000) and the 'Stromschnellen des Maipures am Orinoco', reminiscent of Gerhard Richter, for 6,000 Euro (lots 34/35).
