A new evening auction opens a dialogue between these two key categories of the 20th and 21st centuries — with works by such stellar names as Andreas Gursky, Gio Ponti, Marc Newson, Robert Mapplethorpe and Diane Arbus among many others.
This year, for the first time, Christie’s Frieze Week season kicks off with a new evening auction showcasing two complementary categories: design and photography of the 20th and 21st centuries. Masterpieces of Design and Photography, on 3 October in London, features works by major names such as Diane Arbus, Gio Ponti, Gilbert & George, Andreas Gursky, Allen Jones and Robert Mapplethorpe, among many others, with estimates ranging from £20,000 to £1,500,000.
These 39 objects ‘underline the extraordinary expansion of creativity from 1875 to the present,’ says Francis Outred, Chairman and Head of Post-War and Contemporary Art at Christie’s in London. ‘It’s really a survey of the past 150 years in these two great fields.’ | | | | | | | | | Lot 3
