We're late to the party with this one, but wanted to share it anyway - you have a week left to arrange your second mortgage! Bonhams have an online auction of photography with a talent list that reads like the who's who of photography through the ages.
Marilyn Monroe, The Misfits by Eve Arnold. Lot 171. £1,600 - £2,400
Ansell Adams, William Eggleston, Steve McCurry, WeeGee, Bill Brandt, Bruce Davidson, Elliott Erwitt, Wolfgang Tillmans, Peter Lindbergh, Terry O'Neill, David Bailey, Norman Parkinson - even some Henri Cartier Bressons!
And for a change, there's a smattering of girls flying the flag, too. Although less of each of their images, you can find lots by Eve Arnold (Magnum), Lotte Jacobi, Diane Arbus, Marjorie Content, Barbara Kasten, Lynn Davis, Martine Franck (Magnum), Mary Ellen Mark, Ruth Orkin, Sally Mann, Ruth Bernhard, Berenice Abbott and Ilse Bing.
Mia Farrow by Diane Abus. Lot 159. £8,100 - £12,000
Ranging from a bottom estimate of £570 to a high estimate £48,000, there are 176 lots in total, by 106 photographers, 13 of who are female - a mere 13%! Still, there are some beautiful and iconic images among them, worth a look through the catalogue for a lockdown, stay-at-home photography gallery experience.
It would be a rare exhibition in any situation, seeing all these names in one place.
You've got a week left - Enjoy!
