Photogenic Drawing On Offer At Sotheby?s, Previously Attributed To William
2008-03-26 16:20:00 On the evening of April 7th, 2008, Sotheby?s will offer a photogenic drawing previously attributed to William Henry Fox Talbot, which leading photo historian and Talbot authority Dr. Larry J. Schaaf speculates could be instead by Thomas Wedgwood, an early photographic experimenter, or a member of his circle. Such an authorship, if confirmed, would make this photogenic drawing one of the most important discoveries in the history of photography. The vivid Leaf is one of six similar anonymous photogenic drawings originally housed in an album belonging to Henry Bright of England, which were sold individually at Sotheby?s London in 1984. Purchased by dealer Hans P. Kraus, Jr., who subsequently attributed the work to William Henry Fox Talbot, circa 1839, the Leaf was then sold to Jill Quasha, a private photography dealer representing the Quillan Company, in 1989. Dr. Schaaf has since questioned the Talbot attribution and has explored other possibilities of authorship, including Thoma...

Sotheby?s New York To Feature A Masterpiece Of The 20th Century, Francis Ba
2008-03-24 14:52:00 On the evening of May 14, 2008, Sotheby?s sale of Contemporary Art in New York will feature a masterpiece of the 20th century, Francis Bacon?s Triptych, 1976, the most important work by the artist in private hands. A masterwork of the first order, the potent concentration of imagery in Triptych, 1976, provokes a wide range of possible interpretations in a painting which matches the tragic grandeur of Aeschylus. Triptych, 1976, was the centrepiece of the artist?s most important show of new work of the 1970s, held at the Galerie Claude Bernard in Paris in 1977, which closely documented Bacon?s unease and restless mind during that time. One of only three large-format triptychs in the Bernard exhibition, it was illustrated on the cover of the catalogue. Acquired by the present owner at that time, it has been included in all the major surveys of the artist?s work to date, including the Tate Gallery, London, in 1985; Museo d?Arte Moderna, Lugano, in 1993; and the Musée National d?Art Mode...
