Title of the work:

Untitled #08

I remember well standing at the window and just watching life go by.” (Dorothea Lange)

At some point in their lives, many photographers have attempted to contemplate the world from their window. From Joseph Niépce with his famous View from the Window of the House at Grasse to Joseph Sudek with his series "From My Studio Window." Even W. Eugene Smith, after working all over the world, chose to use a single, reassuring vantage point: his window. However, the most evocative moments are those awaited and photographed by Paul Strand and André Kertész. Landscapes under the snow, with the presence of small human figures. In this research, I preferred color to black and white; I played on the contrast between the white snow and the marks left by car tires. People on foot and on bicycles. With and without umbrellas. People coming and going, all in a hurry. ("From the Window" 2008-2010)

At the end of the pre-auction, the highest bid received for each lot will constitute the starting bid for the in-person event. If there are no further bids, the pre-auction winner will definitively win the lot.

Pre-auction winners will receive an email inviting them to raise a maximum bid, which will be carried forward to the auction on November 3rd to protect the interests of the online pre-auction participant.

Winners of the online pre-auction will also be offered the opportunity to defend their bid by participating remotely at the November 3rd event, via the telephone auction mechanism directly through the CAF Association.
