LOUIS DAGUERRE (1787–1851)
Léocardie Cotte, 1844
Sixth-plate daguerreotype, in original octagonal
paper mat and period metal frame
Annotated “Ce portrait est celui de Madame
Maugé, née Léocardie Cotte, agée 5 ans à
cette époque en 1844 fait à Neuilly au chateau
par Daguerre lui même” in an unidentified hand
in ink on the frame backboard, above numerical
notations in ink, most likely referring to the
exposure times calculated by Daguerre himself
€ 12,000 / € 20,000–25,000

„Fait par Daguerre lui même“ (Von Daguerre selber aufgenommen) – so steht es auf der Rückseite des Originalrahmens
dieser Sechstel-Platte in alter Handschrift geschrieben. Das
Porträt, eine Außenaufnahme, zeigt die 5-jährige Dorothée
Léocardie Cotte (1839–1914), aufgenommen 1844 im Schloss
Neuilly. Das Schloss in der Nähe von Paris war seit 1819 im
Besitz der Familie d’Orleans, aus der der letzte französische
König Louis-Philippe I, der von 1830 bis 1848 regierte,
hervorkam. Der Vater des Mädchens, Laurent Alexandre
Cotte (1806–1865) war nachweislich während dieser Zeit
unter Louis-Philippe als Ball-Intendant und „Officier de
bouche“ tätig (Union, décès: Acte de décès – Cotte Laurent
Alexandre – Archives départementales de Paris – Microfilm).
Louis Daguerre hatte ebenfalls eine Beziehung zu Schloss
Neuilly, denn sein Schwiegervater Mr. Smith war dort als
„Intendant“ tätig. All das spricht dafür, dass es sich bei dieser
Daguerreotypie wirklich um ein Original von Daguerre
handelt und die Information auf der Rückseite authentisch
ist. Interessant auch eine weitere, numerische Beschriftung
auf der Rückseite. Sie stammt eventuell von Daguerre persönlich. Die Zahlenfolgen könnten sich auf seine Belichtungszeiten beziehen. Die Daguerreotypie aus einer französischen
Privatsammlung bietet dem zukünftigen Besitzer die einzigartige Möglichkeit ein Original vom Erfinder des ersten ver
marktbaren fotografischen Verfahrens zu besitzen.
(Viele der Informationen wurden gemeinsam mit
Monsieur Jacques Roquencourt erarbeitet.)
“Fait par Daguerre lui même” (taken by Daguerre himself) is
written on the back of the original of this 1/6 plate in old
handwriting. The portrait, an exterior shot, shows the five
year old Dorothée Léocardie Cotte (1839–1914), photographed
in 1844 at Castle Neuilly. The castle, in close proximity to
Paris, was in possession of the family d’Orleans, from which
the last French king Louis-Philippe I, who reigned from 1830
until 1848, originated. The girl’s father, Laurent Alexandre
Cotte (1806–1865) had verifiably been working as ball-
intendent and “Officier de bouche” under Louis-Philippe
(Union, décès: Acte de décès – Cotte Laurent Alexandre – Archives
départementales de Paris – Microfilm). Louis Daguerre himself
had relations to Castle Neuilly, as his father-in-law had
been working there as an “intendent”. All of this leaves the
impression that this daguerreotype is indeed an original and
that the information on the back of it is authentic. Of further
interest is a numbering of a different cast on the back that
might be attributed to Daguerre personally. The columns of
numbers might relate to exposition times. This daguerreotype, from a French private collection, offers the prospective
proprietor a unique possibility to own an original by the
inventor of the first marketable photographic technique. (Much of the information has been gleaned in collaboration with Monsieur Jacques Roquencourt.)

Die museale Daguerreotypie in originalem Kieferrahmen ist
dem französischen Maler und Fotopionier Charles Nègre
zugeschrieben. Die Zuschreibung basiert auf der Existenz
einer weiteren, fast identen Platte im J. Paul Getty Museum
in Los Angeles, bei der lediglich der Ausschnitt minimal
variiert. (Inv. Nr. 97 XT.11, vgl. Le daguerreotypie français.
Un objet photographique, Paris 2003, p. 292, cat: 213). Zu
sehen sind Gipsabgüsse vom Ost- und Westfries des
Parthenon, darüber eine, bzw. zwei (Getty-Platte), MiniaturInterpretationen des Parthenon-Fries von John Henning
(1771–1851). Die hohe Aufnahmequalität, die Plattengröße
und die meisterhafte Beleuchtung beider Daguerreotypien
lassen den Schluss zu, dass es sich nur um ein und denselben
Schöpfer handeln kann. Die Relieffiguren sind mit Finesse
und Präzision ins Licht getaucht; die Qualität der Tiefen
wirkung, ihre Klarheit und Schärfe – eine wunderschöne frühe
Hommage an die damals noch neue Technik der Daguerreo
typie. „Die antiken Formen scheinen auf eine Miniatur-
Enzyklopädie reduziert zu sein, von der sich die jungen
Künstler inspirieren lassen konnten, während sie die ideale
Welt der Vergangenheit betrachteten.“ (Eugenia Parris).
Charles Nègre, der 1839 dem Atelier von Paul Delaroche i n
Paris beigetreten war, wurde schon früh von seinem Mentor
aufgefordert die Fotografie für seine Kompositionen zu ver
wenden. Er machte sich als einer der ersten mit der Technik
der Daguerreotypie vertraut. Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts
befanden sich in den meisten europäischen Museen Gips
abgüsse antiker Skulpturen und Reliefs, so auch in Paris.
Sie waren im Akademiekontext als Studienobjekte sehr
gefragt. Die vorliegende Daguerreotypie kann als eine Art
Vorahnung für die kurz darauf folgende Vermarktung und
Verbreitung der Kunstschätze dieser Welt durch die Fotografie, gedeutet werden.
The museum daguerreotype, in its original pine frame, is
attributed to the French painter and photography pioneer
Charles Nègre. The attribution is based on the existence of
a further, almost identical plate in the J. Paul Getty Museum
in Los Angeles, of which the framing varies only minimally.
(Inv. Nr. 97 XT.11, vgl. Le daguerreotypie français. Un objet
photographique, Paris 2003, p. 292, cat: 213). Plaster casts
of the East and West frieze under one or two (Getty plate)
miniature interpretations of John Hennings’ (1711–1851)
Parthenon-Frieze are visible. The high quality, the size of
the plates and the masterful lighting of both daguerreotypes
lead to the conclusion that they were shot by the same creator.
The relief figures are immersed in light with precision and
finesse; the quality of the depth effect and their clarity are a
wonderful homage to the still new technique of daguerreotype, at that time. “The antique forms seem to be reduced to
a miniature-encyclopedia that was able to inspire young
artists while they took a look at the ideal world of the past.”
(Eugenia Parris). Charles Nègre, who in 1839 joined the studio
of Paul Delaroche in Paris, was encouraged to use the technique of photography early on by his mentor. He was one of
the first to familiarize himself with the technique of the
daguerreotype. In the mid 19th century, plaster casts of antique
sculptures and reliefs could be found in most European
museums, including Paris. They were very popular as objects
to study in the context of the academy. This daguerreotype
can be understood as a premonition of the marketing and
the distribution of the art of the world through photography
that followed shortly afterwards.

Das deutsche Atelier Trutpert Schneider & Söhne machte sich vor allem
mit den Stereo-Daguerreotypien einen Namen und sicherte sich durch
ihre stimmungsvollen Aufnahmen einen bedeutenden Platz in der Foto
geschichte. Als Wanderfotograf portraitierten sie in den 1850er und
1860er Jahren den wohlhabenden Adel und die Bourgeoisie Mittel- und
Osteuropas. Im Gegensatz zur damals üblichen Verwendung spezieller
Stereokameras mit zwei Objektiven, entstanden die Aufnahmen bei
den Schneiders durch seitliches Verschieben einer Kamera auf einem
Spezialstativ. Beide Aufnahmen wurden nacheinander belichtet, teilweise
auf einer Platte, indem die jeweilige Plattenhälfte abgedeckt wurde, und
teilweise auf zwei getrennten Platten. Die Aufnahmen weichen deswegen
oft stark ab, was zu einem überhöhten Stereo-Effekt führt. Zum Betrachten
ihrer Stereo-Aufnahmen lieferten die Schneiders ihren Kunden flache,
in jede Manteltasche passende Etuis mit ausklappbarem Stereobetrachter
für die bequeme und schnelle Betrachtung unterwegs.
The German studio Trutpert Schneider & Sons established their reputation
mainly with stereo daguerreotypes and secured a remarkable place in
photography history with their atmospheric photographs. As wandering
photographers, they portrayed the wealthy aristocracy and the bourgeoisie
of Middle and Eastern Europe in the 1850s and 1860s. In contrast to the use
of special stereo cameras at that time, the Schneiders’ photographs were
produced by moving the camera to the side on a special tripod. Both
photographs were exposed after each other, sometimes on the same plate,
by covering one side of it. The photographs often vary strongly, producing
an excessive stereo-effect. To view their photographs, the Schneiders
offered flat cases that fitted into every coat pocket and included an extendable stereo device for a comfortable and quick look at the photographs.

In dem Jahrzehnt vor 1900 gestaltete
Max Klinger eine großformatige Plastik
Beethovens, dargestellt als olympische
Gottheit mit nacktem Oberkörper.
Ausgestellt zum ersten Mal 1902 in
Wien – in einem eigenen Raum des
Sezessionsgebäudes, der von Gustav
Klimt mit einem Figuren-Fries dekoriert
worden war. In der Öffentlichkeit löste
diese ungewöhnliche Arbeit allgemeine
Empörung aus. Erst Jahre später konnte
Klinger sein Denkmal an die Stadt
Leipzig verkaufen.
In the decade before 1900, Max Klinger
designed a large-format sculpture of
Beethoven, presented as an olympic
god with a bare upper body. It was first
exhibited in 1902 in Vienna – in a
separate room of the Secession that
was decorated with a figure-frieze by
Gustav Klimt. The unusual work caused
a public outrage. It was only years later
that Klinger was able to sell his artwork
to the city of Leipzig.

Für seine Arbeitsbücher fertigte Drtikol kleine Bildchen seiner – meist mit
großformatigen Kameras aufgenommenen – Fotografien an. Dafür pinnte
er Kontaktabzüge mit (teils auch auf den Bildchen sichtbaren) Reißzwecken
an eine Wand und fotografierte Zusammenstellungen von jeweils vier bis
zehn Werken. Diese Aufnahmen, deren Glasnegative im Format 16,3 × 12 cm
heute im Prager Kunstgewerbemuseum [Museum of Decorative Arts] auf
bewahrt werden und anhand derer über Tausend seiner Fotografien dokumentiert sind, nannte Drtikol „vzorníky“ [dt. Probeblätter; engl. samplers].
Durch Zerschneiden der Kontaktabzüge dieser „vzorníky“ erhielt er jene
kleinformatigen Bildchen, die in verschiedenen Papiersorten und Zusammen
stellungen eine zentrale Basis für die Reflexion und Entwicklung seiner
Arbeit darstellten. Die angebotenen Blätter mit insgesamt 100 Bildern bieten
einen tiefen Einblick in seine wichtigste Schaffensphase in der Aktfotografie
zwischen ca. 1915 und 1930. Die Kompositionen umspannen stilistisch die
gesamte Bandbreite seiner gestalterischen Meisterschaft von Kunstfotografie
und Prager Symbolismus bis zum Art Deco.
For his workbooks, Drtikol produced tiny pictures of the photographs he
took, mostly with large-format cameras. In order to do so, he pinned contact
prints (sometimes the pins were even visible on the tiny pictures) to the wall
and took photographs of arrangements of four to ten works. He called these
photographs “vzorníky“ (samplers), the glass negatives of which, in the
format 16.3 × 12 cm, are kept at the Museum of Decorative Arts, Prague and
document more than a thousand of his photographs. By cutting the contact
prints of these “vzorníky“ he got the small format pictures that, on different
sorts of paper and in different arrangements, represent a central basis for
the reflection and the development of his work. The offered pages, with
100 pictures in total, provide a deep insight into his most important creative
period of nude photography between 1915 and 1930. The compositions
encompass stylistically the full range of his artistic mastery, ranging from
art photography and Prague symbolism to Art Deco.

Russische Fotografien aus
der Sammlung Borodulin
Russian Photographs from
the Borodulin Collection
Die Sammlung Borodulin wurde zum größten Teil vom russischen Fotografen Lev Borodulin aufgebaut. Die meisten der
Fotografien erhielt er direkt von Kollegen wie Alpert, Chalip,
Baltermants, Markov-Grinberg, Shagin, Chaldej und deren
Familien. In der Redaktion der Wochenillustrierten Ogoniok
(Ogonyok), dem russischen Pendant zu Life, teilte sich Lev
mit Dimitri Baltermants eine Dunkelkammer. Die bekanntesten russischen Fotografen wurden bei Ogoniok publiziert,
aus dessen Archiv ein wichtiger Teil der Fotografien in
Borodulins Sammlung kam. Ein weiterer Teil der Sammlung
kam über Anatoly Fomin, bzw. Iskusstvo, dem größten
Verlagshaus für Kunst und Fotografie, in die Sammlung.
Lev Borodulin war ein Freund des Chefredakteurs Anatoly
Fomin. Fomin war Kunsthistoriker und Autor zahlreicher
Fotobücher, er bereitete vor seinem Tod ein Buch über
Rodchenko vor und verwendete häufig originale Fotografien
als Vorlagen für seine Publikationen. In den 1990er-Jahren
übergab e r seine Archive an Lev Borodulin.
The Borodulin Collection was built up to a large extent by
Russian photographer Lev Borodulin. He received most
of the photographs directly from photographer colleagues
such as Alpert, Chalip, Baltermants, Markov-Grinberg, Shagin
or Chaldej, or from their families. He shared a darkroom with
Dimitri Baltermants in the editorial office of weekly magazine
Ogoniok (Ogonyok), the Russian equivalent of Life. Wellknown Russian photographers were published there and an
important part of the Borodulin Collection comes from their
archives. Another important part of the collection was
acquired through Anatoly Fomin, respectively Iskusstvo,
the largest publishing house of art and photography books
in the USSR. Lev Borodulin was a friend of chief editor
Anatoly Fomin. Fomin was an art historian and author of
many photographic books and before his death he prepared
a book about Rodchenko. He often used original photographs
for his publications. In the 1990s he gave his archives to
Lev Borodulin.

Eisenstaedt hatte sich nie auf ein bestimmtes
Gebiet festgelegt, er lichtete Personen der Zeit
geschichte ab, politische Reportagen, wie auch
völlig unbekannte Menschen in humorvollen
ausgelassenen Situationen. Ein perfektes Beispiel
ist der „Drum Major“, vorliegend als großformatiger Print aus den 1970er-Jahren. Die Aufnahme
entstand im Herbst 1950 bei der Probe einer
Marschkapelle am Rasen der Universität von
Michigan, der sich spontan eine Reihe von
Kindern anschloss. Mit nach hinten geneigten
Köpfen und nach oben gerissenen Beinen
versuchten sie den Gang des probenden Drum
Majors zu imitieren. Publiziert am 30. Oktober
1950 im Life Magazine ist er ein typisches Beispiel
einer nicht inszenierten Ikone, eines festgehaltenen überschwänglichen Moments und eine
wunderschöne „Ode an die Fröhlichkeit“.
Eisenstaedt never focused on a specific field; he
produced political reportages and photographs of
people from contemporary history, as well as
photographs of completely unknown people in
amusing, exuberant situations. A perfect example
is the “Drum Major”, available as a large-format
print from the 1970s. The photograph originates
from 1950, from the rehearsal of a marching band
at the University of Michigan, where a number
of children spontaneously joined the band. With
their heads high and legs raised, they try to
imitate the gait of the rehearsing Drum Major.
Published on the 30th of October 1950 in Life
Magazine, the Drum Major is a typical example
of a non-staged icon, of a captured exuberant
moment, a wonderful “Ode to Happiness”.

Der Vintage-Print, authentifiziert von Martine Franck in einem
beiliegenden Brief, zeigt einen Eunuchen des Kaiserhofs der letzten
Dynastie. Kastrierte Palasteunuchen gehörten vor allem in China
zum kaiserlichen Hofstaat und verrichteten in strengen Hierarchien
verschiedenste Tätigkeiten. Entstanden ist die bekannte Aufnahme
auf Cartier-Bressons Chinareise, die er ab Ende 1948 im Auftrag von
Life Magazine durchführte um den turbulenten Übergang der
Kuomintang-Regierung zu den Kommunisten zu dokumentieren.
The vintage-print, authenticated by Martine Franck in an attached
letter, shows a eunuch of the imperial court during the last dynasty.
Mainly in China, castrated palace eunuchs belonged to the imperial
court and performed different tasks in strict hierarchies. The well
known shot originated from Cartier-Bresson‘s travels through China
at the end of 1948, when Life Magazine commissioned him to document the turbulent transition from the Kuomintang government to
the Communists.

“High in the wind-blown steelwork of the 1,080 foot Eiffel Tower, the city of Paris
breathtakingly spread out below, a dreamy Frenchman put a fresh coat of paint
on the third tallest structure in the world. To help keep him from slipping he wore
rope-soled cloth shoes. But otherwise, as he gracefully wielded his brush and
languidly bent to the paint pot hung on the girder below, he maintained his dizzy
perch only with a one-handed grip and a firm faith.”
— “Blitheful on the Eiffel”, Life Magazine, 3. August 1953
Mit diesen stimmungsvollen Worten wurde „Der Maler am Eiffelturm“ 1953 als
erste Fotografie Ribouds im Life Magazine publiziert. Sie zog die Aufmerksamkeit
von Robert Capa auf sich, der den Franzosen daraufhin einlud, ein Mitarbeiter
von Magnum zu werden. Die Aufnahme des Malers Zazou, vorliegend als groß
formatiger signierter Print, wurde zu einem Synonym für Leichtigkeit und einer
Ikone des joie de vivre.
With these atmospheric words, “The Painter on the Eiffel Tower” was the first
photograph of Riboud to be published in Life Magazine, in 1953. It drew the
attention of Robert Capa, who invited the Frenchman to be a contributor to
Magnum. The photograph of the painter Zazou, available as a signed large-format
print, became synonymous for lightness and an icon of the joie de vivre.

Die viel zelebrierte Antikriegsikone, vorliegend als seltener
Vintage-Print, entstand am 21. Oktober 1967 während
des „Marsch auf das Pentagon“, bei dem mehr als 100,000
Menschen den Rückzug der US Truppen aus Vietnam
forderten. Unter ihnen auch die 17-jährige Jan-Rose Kasmir,
die sich vor eine Reihe der Amerikanischen Nationalgarde
stellt, die das Pentagon-Gebäude bewachen. Auf der
einen Seite die Army, die Gewehre gehoben, die Bajonette
angebracht, auf der anderen Seite die junge Demonstrantin
mit nichts mehr als einer Blume in der Hand. Die vielfach publizierte Fotografie wurde zu einem Symbol der
Flower-Power-Bewegung.
This much celebrated anti-war icon, available as a rare
vintage print, was taken on the 21st of October 1967 during
the “March towards the Pentagon”, where more than 100,000
people demanded the retreat of US troops from Vietnam.
Among them was the 17-year old Jan-Rose Kasmir, standing
in front of a phalanx of the National Guard protecting the
Pentagon. On the one side is the Army, raised guns, bayonets
applied; on the other side, the young protester with nothing
more than a flower in her hand. This widely published photograph became a symbol of the Flower Power movement.

many with annotations and inscriptions by
Duncan, one signed, four stamped), 8 contact

Eindrucksvolles und umfangreiches Los eines Fotoarchivs
zu David Douglas Duncans Buch Self-Portrait: U.S.A.
(Harry N. Abrams Inc., New York 1969) bestehend aus
114 Vintage-Prints, einer Maquette des Buchs, acht Kontaktabzügen und einem signierten Buch. Life Fotograf Duncan
dokumentierte in Self-Portrait: U.S.A. die Nominierungs
parteitage der Republikaner und Demokraten von 1968 in
Miami Beach und Chicago. Er fing die zwei so unterschiedlichen Conventions, den blutigen Konflikt in Chicago und
die bizarre karnevalsartige Atmosphäre in Miami Beach,
mit großer Sensibilität ein.
Die 114 Silbergelatine-Abzüge im repräsentativen
10 × 14 inch Format (ca. 34 × 24 cm) zeigen viele der besten
Aufnahmen des Buchs, in seltenen Fällen auch Variationen
eines Motivs. 74 Fotografien sind locker auf Karton unter
aufklappbarer Schutzfolie montiert, 40 lose. Die meisten der
Vintage-Prints sind rückseitig oder am Karton mit der
Seitennummer des Buchs beschriftet. Eine der Fotografien
ist im Rand von Duncan signiert, vier rückseitig gestempelt.
Spannend die vielen Notizen und Anmerkungen Duncans,
die er in manchen Fällen mit rotem Buntstift auf den
Fotografien selbst oder deren Schutzumschlägen notiert
hat (zum Beispiel „OK as sample“, „More detail“, „Retouch
wall“ oder „Replacement page 234“). Sie zeigen welche
Stellen beschnitten, retuschiert, dunkler oder heller
gehörten und geben einen interessanten Einblick in die
Arbeitsweise dieses großen Bildjournalisten. Die losen
Seiten der Maquette (gefaltete Doppelseiten zu je 35 × 55 cm)
sind im Hardcover-Einband des Buchs zusammengefasst.
Auf drei zusätzlichen größeren Doppelseiten des Modells
befinden sich Notizen von Duncan mit rotem und gelbem
Stift und seine Initialen „DDD“. Seine Anmerkungen lauten
zum Beispiel: „Give me everything possible on this edge
in order to move gutter as much as possible to left.“

Spectacular lot of a comprehensive photo archive on David
Douglas Duncan’s book Self-Portrait: U.S.A. (Harry N.
Abrams Inc., New York 1969) consisting of 114 Vintage silver
prints, a maquette of the book, eight contact sheets and a
dedicated book. Life photographer Duncan documented the
two National Conventions of the Republicans and Democrats in Miami Beach and Chicago in 1968. He captured the
bloody conflict in Chicago and the bizarre carnival-like
atmosphere of Miami Beach to great effect.
The 114 enlarged 10 × 14 inch photographs (c. 34 × 24 cm)
show some of the best images appearing in the book, in few
cases variations of one image. 74 prints are mounted on
cardboard under a hinged transparency film and 40 prints
are loose. One of the photographs is signed in the image
and four are stamped. Most of them are inscribed on the
back or on the mount with the page number of the finished
book. Many of these images or transparency film feature
annotations made by Duncan personally in red or black
pencil (for example, “OK as sample”, “More detail”,
“Retouch wall” or “Replacement page 234”). On some
prints Duncan drew arrows, lines or circles around small
details in the image to indicate what was to be cropped or
eliminated in the final print. They give us an interesting
insight in the working method of this great photo journalist.
The unbound, oversized pages of the maquette (folded
double pages, each c. 35 × 55 cm) are laid into the hardcover
cover of the book. Three additionally double-pages are
inscribed by Duncan with his notes and initials in pen.
His notations read, for example: “Give me everything
possible on this edge in order to move gutter as much as
possible to left”.

Vier Jahre nach der kubanischen Revolution von 1959 schickte Magnum René
Burri mit dem Auftrag nach Kuba, Ernesto „Che“ Guevara anlässlich eines
Interviews für das auflagenstarke, amerikanische Magazin Look zu foto
grafieren. Che Guevara, als Präsident der Nationalbank und Industrie
minister der nach Fidel Castro zweitmächtigste Mann auf Kuba, hatte die
amerikanische Starjournalistin Laura Bergquist persönlich auf die Zuckerinsel eingeladen, damit sich diese vor Ort ein eigenes Bild von den Erfolgen
der Revolution machen sollte. Die Atmosphäre des Gesprächs zwischen Che
und der provozierend fragenden Reporterin wird Burri rückblickend als
„angespannt“ bezeichnen. Ihm selbst wird Che gleich zu Beginn barsch die
Bitte abschlagen, die Jalousien öffnen zu dürfen, um die Lichtsituation im
Raum zu verbessern. Auch wird er Burri während des dreistündigen Interviews, bei dem dieser sechs Filme belichten wird, keines Blickes würdigen.
Burri wird später über die Entstehung seiner berühmtesten Aufnahme resümieren: „Ich konnte alle seine Eigenschaften ablichten, Charme, Überzeugungskunst und Wut. Aber kein einziges Mal hat er in die Kamera geschaut.“
Four years after the Cuban revolution in 1959, Magnum sent René Burri to
Cuba to take photographs of Ernesto “Che“ Guevara during an interview for
the widely circulated American magazine Look. As President of the National
Bank and Minister of Industry, Che Guevara had personally invited American star-journalist Laura Bergquist to the Sugar Island so that she could form
her own opinion about the success of the revolution. In retrospect, Burri
would describe the atmosphere of the talk between Che and the provocatively
questioning reporter as “tense“. Right at the start, Che denied Burri the request
to open the blinds to enhance the lighting situation in the room. Furthermore,
he would not deign to look at Burri during the six hour interview, in which
the photographer exposed six rolls of film. Later, Burri recalled the genesis
of his most famous shot: “I could expose all of his characteristics: charm, power
of persuasion and anger. But he did not look into the camera one single time.“

Kordas berühmtestes Werk und eine Ikone des 20. Jahrhunderts ist die am
öftesten reproduzierte Fotografie der Welt – allerdings immer in einer
fragmentierten Version. In diesem Fall handelt es sich um ein seltenes,
unbeschnittenes Original. Die Aufnahme entstand am 5. März 1960 bei einem
Gedenkgottesdienst am Friedhof von Havanna, am Vortag sind 81 Kubaner
bei einer Explosion umgekommen. Fidel Castro hielt eine leidenschaftliche
Rede, die Korda für Revolución fotografierte. Zufällig erschien Che Guevara
im Fokus seines 90-mm-Objektivs. Aus circa sechs Metern Entfernung schoss
er zwei Fotos, ein Hochformat und ein Querformat mit seiner Leica M2, eine
Sekunde später war Che wieder verschwunden. Die angebotene Fotografie
ist jene erste Aufnahme, die Che Guevara umrahmt von einer Palme und
einer anonymen Silhouette zeigt.
Korda’s best known photograph became an icon of the 20th century and is
the most frequently reproduced picture worldwide. But the famous image
is a fragmented version of the original shoot. In this case we are able to
present a rare, un-cropped original. The picture was taken on the 5th of
March 1960, during a memorial service at the cemetery of Havana. The day
before 81 Cuban citizens had been killed in an explosion. Fidel Castro held a
passionate speech that was captured by Korda for the newspaper Revolución.
By coincidence Che Guevara appeared in front of his 90 mm lens. From a
distance of approximately six meters, he took two pictures, one upright
format and one landscape format with his Leica M2, only a second later Che
was gone again. The photographic print on offer is the first of the two shots
that shows Che Guevara framed by a palm tree and a silhouette.

Harold E. Edgerton, Erfinder des elektronischen Blitzes, suchte sein Leben
lang nach der ästhetischen Vollkommenheit und der idealen Verbindung
von Kunst und Technologie. Eine der berühmtesten Fotografien „Milk
Drop Coronet“ zeigt die zierliche, einer Krone ähnlichen Form; erzeugt
durch das Auftreffen eines Tropfens Milch auf einer mit einer dünnen
Milchschicht versehenen Platte. Der auftreffende Tropfen katapultiert die
Milch in ein Diadem und verwandelt sich in eine flüssige Plastik, die nur
durch Edgertons fotografisches Genie sichtbar wird.
Harold E. Edgerton, inventor of the electronic flash, searched his whole life
for aesthetic perfection and the ideal combination of art and technology.
One of his most famous photographs, “Milk Drop Coronet’”, shows a
delicate form, similar to a crown, produced by a drop of milk falling on
a plate covered with a thin layer of milk. The drip catapults the milk into
a tiara and transforms it into a liquid sculpture that is then visualized by
Edgerton’s photographic genius.

intriguing photo books of the twentieth century.”

images
€ 1,200 / € 1,600–1,800
“Moriyama’s scarce fourth book features some of his
most compelling nudes – many in bondage scenes –
ever published. While similar in theme to much of
Araki’s work, the figures in these photos are removed
from their context in the red-light districts of
Tokyo and set against earthy, organic backgrounds.
The images are somewhat grounded by a section
in the center of the book that reproduces contact
sheets showing images from the shoots. A rare
Moriyama item.” (Photo-Eye)

“To make the book, Yoshiyuki trawled the Shinjuku
and Yoyogi parks in Tokyo, both notorious for
nocturnal sexual activity, and photographed the
‘goings-on’ with infrared flash, which enabled
him to get images in the dark without the flash
being visible. … [Document Park is] a brilliant piece
of social documentation, catching perfectly the
loneliness, sadness and desperation that so often
accompany sexual or human relationships in a big,
hard metropolis like Tokyo.” (Parr & Badger)

published.” (Parr & Badger)

Versteigerungsbedingungen
für Bieter bei der WestLicht Foto-Auktion (Peter Coeln GmbH)
Conditions of Sale
1. Mit der Abgabe eines schriftlichen oder telefonischen Kaufauftrages,
eines Online-Gebots oder durch die persönliche Teilnahme als Saal
bieter erkennt jeder Bieter bei der Auktion die folgenden Versteigerungs
bedingungen ausdrücklich an. Die Versteigerungsbedingungen gelten
sinngemäß auch für den Nachverkauf. Bei Beanspruchungen aufgrund
fehlerhafter Übersetzung ist der deutsche Text der Versteigerungsbedingungen im gedruckten Katalog gültig. Gebote und persönliche Daten
der Bieter und Einbringer werden von WestLicht-Auction streng vertraulich behandelt und keiner dritten Person weitergegeben.
1. By submitting an absentee or telephone bid, making an online bid
offer or by personal participation in an action each and every bidder
agrees to abide by the following conditions of sale. These conditions
also apply to subsequent sales. Where there is a conflict of meaning
due to errors of translation, the German text, as printed in the auction
catalogue, is binding. Commission bids and personal information of
those submitting lots for sale and bidders will be dealt with by WestLicht Auctions in the strictest confidence and will not be passed on to
third parties.
2. Die Versteigerung ist öffentlich und freiwillig und wird nach den
Bestimmungen der §§ 284 a ff der Gewerbeordnung i.d.F. GRNov 1997
sowie nach den vorliegenden Versteigerungsbedingungen durchgeführt. Die Versteigerung erfolgt in fremdem Namen sowie für fremde
Rechnung. Erfüllungsort und Gerichtsstand ist Wien. Auch im Verhältnis
zu ausländischen Bietern ist österreichisches Recht maßgeblich.
2. The auction is public and voluntary and will be conducted in
accordance with the regulations set forth in paragraph 288a ff of the
Trade Regulations of 1997 and also in accordance with these con
ditions of sale. The auction will be conducted in our client’s name and
for our client’s account. Place of jurisdiction is Vienna. Austrian law is
also binding on all foreign bidders.
3. Die Schätzung und fachliche Bestimmung der Objekte erfolgt durch
Experten der WestLicht Foto-Auktion, die bemüht sind den Zustand
der Lose im Katalog so adäquat wie möglich zu beschreiben. Etwaige
Fehler oder Mängel der Versteigerungsgegenstände werden üblicherweise ausgewiesen und alle Lose der international üblichen Form entsprechend bewertet. WestLicht weist jedoch ausdrücklich darauf hin,
dass die Gegenstände als Sammlerstücke angeboten werden und der
Verkauf daher ohne Gewähr und Haftung für offene und versteckte
Mängel erfolgt. Irrtums- und Druckfehlerberichtigungen bleiben vor
behalten. Ebenso behält sich WestLicht-Auction das Recht vor, Berichtigungen der Beschreibung bis zur Versteigerung vorzunehmen. Eine Rück
nahme ersteigerter Artikel ist prinzipiell ausgeschlossen (siehe Punkt 12).
3. The valuation and expert description of objects will be carried out
by the experts of WestLicht Auctions who will take all reasonable care
to describe the condition of the lots in the catalogue as accurately as
possible. Possible flaws or defects in the objects on offer will normally
be noted and the objects will be evaluated according to normal international conventions. However WestLicht Auctions explicitly draws
your attention to the fact that the objects are offered as collector’s
items and that the sale of them gives rise to neither warranty nor
responsibility for any visible or invisible defects whatsoever. All errors
in the catalogue are excepted. WestLicht Auctions also reserves the
right to amend any description up to the time of auction. Auctioned
items cannot be returned (see also paragraph 12).
4. Die Besichtigung der zur Versteigerung vorgesehenen Objekte ist
innerhalb des im Katalog angeführten Zeitraumes möglich. Ist einem
Bieter die Besichtigung vor Ort jedoch nicht möglich, geben wir auf
Anfrage gerne eine präzisere Beschreibung des technischen und
optischen Zustandes. Diese Auskünfte erteilen wir sowohl telefonisch,
als auch schriftlich oder per E-Mail – zusätzlich Fotos können wir jedoch
nur per E-Mail zusenden. Bei der Besichtigung und während der Versteigerung ist größte Vorsicht zu empfehlen, da jeder Besucher für den
von ihm verursachten Schaden in vollem Umfang haftet.
4. Viewing of the objects intended for the auction is possible within
the period stipulated in the catalogue. If it is not possible for a bidder
to view an object in person, we will be happy to forward them a more
detailed description of the technical and optical condition. This information may be given by telephone, in writing, or by e-mail. Additional
photos can only be sent by e-mail. During both viewing and the auction
visitors and bidders should exercise the greatest of care since they
will be responsible for any damage caused in full.
for bidders at WestLicht Photo Auctions (Peter Coeln GmbH)
5. Vor Versteigerungsbeginn können schriftlich (Brief, Fax, E-Mail oder
Online-Gebote über unsere Homepage) abgegeben werden. Schriftliche Kaufaufträge müssen dem Versteigerer bis spätestens 24 Stunden
vor Beginn der Versteigerung in gut leserlicher Form vorliegen. Um
berücksichtigt zu werden, müssen sie außerdem die genaue Anschrift
des Auftraggebers, sowie das Höchstgebot in EURO enthalten. Die
darin genannten Preise gelten als Höchstpreise für den Zuschlag, das
Aufgeld wird im Falle des Zuschlages zusätzlich in Rechnung gestellt.
Wir führen schriftliche Gebote gewissenhaft aus, wobei das schriftliche
Höchstgebot nur dann ausgeschöpft wird, wenn andere schriftliche
oder mündliche Gebote im Saal dies im Interesse des Bieters notwendig machen. Telefonische Gebote sind erst ab einem jeweiligen Loswert
von EUR 500 möglich. Auch für diese Art des Bietens muss ein Auftrag
spätestens 24 Stunden vor der Auktion schriftlich beim Versteigerer
vorliegen. Telefonbieter werden vor Aufruf der gewünschten Lose von
WestLicht-Auction angerufen. Eine Garantie für das Zustandekommen
der Telefonverbindung kann jedoch nicht gegeben werden. Nachdem
sie sich mit einem Ausweis oder einer Kreditkarte legitimiert haben,
erhalten Saalbieter vor Beginn der Auktion eine Bieternummer.
5. Written bids may be submitted prior to the start of the auction
(by letter, fax, e-mail or an online offer through our homepage). Written
purchase orders must reach the auctioneer at least 24 hours before
the start of the auction and must be clearly legible. In order to be
taken into account they must also contain the client’s exact address as
well as their highest bid in EURO. The price specified therein will be
regarded as the highest hammer price. In the case of a successful bid,
all additional charges will be added to the bill. We carry out written
bids scrupulously, the highest bid designated therein only being
made use of when other offers (written or verbal in the auction rooms)
make it necessary to do so in the interest of the bidder. Telephone
bids are only possible on lots worth more than EUR 500 exclusive of
charges. In the case of telephone bids too, it is necessary that the
intention to bid by phone be deposited in writing with the auctioneer
at least 24 hours prior to the auction. Telephone bidders will then be
called by WestLicht Auctions before bidding starts on the relevant
lots. However, there can be no guarantee that a telephone connection
can, in fact, be made. After having been legitimated by means of an
identification document or credit card, auction-room bidders will be
given a bidder number before the auction starts.
6. Alle im Katalog und in den Versteigerungsbedingungen angeführten
Preise verstehen sich in EURO. Bei diesen Preisen handelt es sich um
Startpreise und somit um die Mindestgebote. Untergebote können
nicht berücksichtigt werden. Bei differenzbesteuerten Objekten und
solchen, die im Namen und für Rechnung des Einbringers versteigert
werden, wird ein Aufgeld von 20 % inklusive der gesetzlichen Umsatz
steuer verrechnet. Bei Objekten, die der Vollbesteuerung unterliegen
(gekennzeichnet mit *), wird eine Käufergebühr von 17,5 % verrechnet.
Auf den Nettopreis werden 10 % Mehrwertsteuer hinzugerechnet.
Diese Mehrwertsteuer wird nicht verrechnet, wenn der Verkauf in ein
Nichtmitgliedsland der Europäischen Union (Drittland) erfolgt und der
6. All prices in the catalogue and in the conditions of sale are in
EUROS. These are the start prices and thus also the reserve price.
Offers under these prices cannot be taken into account. In the case
of lots subject to margin tax and such that are offered in the name
and for the account of the Consignor, a 20 % surcharge is charged,
including statutory VAT. With fully taxable lots (marked with the
symbol *) a 17,5 % buyer’s premium. 10 % VAT is added to the net
price. For this cases VAT will not be added if the sale is made to a
country which is not a member of the European Union (third country)
and the legal requirements are satisfied and proof of export is supplied. For lots won via live bidding services the buyer’s premium will

Ausfuhrnachweis in das Drittland erbracht wird. Bei Ersteigerung eines
Loses über eine Live-Bieter Plattform beträgt das Aufgeld 23 % vom
Hammerpreis. Im Falle einer mit uns vereinbarten Zahlung mit Kreditkarte wird zusätzlich eine Gebühr von 3 % der Gesamt summe verrechnet. Der Käufer haftet in diesem Fall für die Gültigkeit der Kreditkarte
und die Autor isierung des Kaufpreises durch die Kreditkartenfirma.
7. Die Versteigerung erfolgt in der Reihenfolge der Katalognumme
rierung. Maßgeblich ist der Katalogtext der gedruckten deutschen
Ausgabe des Auktionskatalogs. Jedoch ist der Auktionator berechtigt,
Katalognummern in der Versteigerung zusammen zu fassen, zu trennen,
heraus zu nehmen oder die Reihenfolge zu verändern. Er kann Angebote ablehnen und einen bereits erteilten Zuschlag aufheben, um den
betreffenden Gegenstand weiter zu steigern.
8. Gesteigert wird um ca. 10 % des Ausrufpreises. Der Ausrufpreis ist in
der Regel der im Katalog angeführte Startpreis, sofern nicht mehrere
höhere schriftliche Gebote vorliegen. In diesem Fall ruft der Auktionator zu Gunsten des höchsten Bieters mit dem Betrag aus, der 10 %
über dem schriftlichen Gebot des zweithöchsten Bieters liegt. Liegen
mehrere gleiche schriftliche Höchstgebote vor, so wird zu Gunsten des
zuerst eingelangten Gebotes entschieden. Das zugeschlagene Gebot
ist der Nettokaufpreis.
9. Das Eigentum der ersteigerten Ware geht erst nach vollständiger
Bezahlung auf den Käufer über. Im Falle des Zuschlages verpflichtet sich
der Ersteher zur Abnahme und Zahlung des von ihm ersteigerten Loses.
Eine Rücknahme versteigerter Gegenstände seitens des Versteigerers
ist ausgeschlossen. Mit dem Zuschlag geht die gesamte Haftung für
den Versteigerungsgegenstand sofort auf den Ersteher über. Das ersteigerte Los wird dem Ersteher jedoch erst nach vollständiger Bezahlung des Zuschlagpreises und des Aufgeldes, sowie anfallender Steuern
und Gebühren ausgehändigt. Wird vereinbart, den Gegenstand dennoch vor vollständiger Bezahlung auszuliefern, verbleibt der versteigerte Gegenstand bis zum vollständigen Forderungsausgleich Eigentum des Einlieferers.
10. Sofern keine anderen Vereinbarungen getroffen wurden, haben
Saalbieter das ersteigerte Gut nach Beendigung der Auktion abzuholen
und zu bezahlen. Bei Bezahlung durch Überweisung ist der Rechnungsbetrag sofort und inklusive aller Bankspesen fällig. Die Rechnungen
der schriftlich oder telefonisch ersteigerten Gegenstände werden nach
Beendigung der Auktion an den jeweiligen Höchstbieter verschickt.
Diese sind innerhalb von 8 Tagen nach Erhalt an den Versteigerer
ohne Abzug zu bezahlen. Bei Zahlungsverzug werden Verzugszinsen in
Höhe von 5 % über dem jeweiligen Basiszinssatz der Österreichischen
Nationalbank verrechnet. Ebenso ist die Zahlung per Nachnahme,
Postauftrag oder Bankscheck möglich – bei all diesen Zahlungsarten
übernimmt der Ersteher allfällige Spesen. Kosten für Verpackung,
Transport und Transportversicherung sind nicht inkludiert und werden
extra zur Verrechnung gebracht. Wir weisen jedoch darauf hin, dass
wir ausschließlich die Selbstkosten verrechnen und aufgrund unserer
Vereinbarung mit Transportfirmen für den Käufer günstige Transportund Versicherungstarife anbieten können. Jede Lagerung und Verpackung erfolgt jedoch grundsätzlich auf Gefahr des Käufers.
11. Bei Annahmeverweigerung oder Zahlungsverzug haftet der Ersteher
für alle daraus entstehenden Schäden und Folgekosten. Der Versteigerer
kann in diesen Fällen entweder Erfüllung des Kaufvertrages oder
Schadenersatz wegen Nichterfüllung des Kaufvertrages verlangen. Das
Versteigerungsgut kann auf Kosten des Erstehers nochmals versteigert
werden. In diesem Fall haftet der Ersteher für den Minderpreis und hat
auf einen gegebenenfalls erzielten Mehrerlös keinen Anspruch.
12. Versteigerte Objekte werden prinzipiell nicht zurück genommen.
Handelt es sich jedoch um eine offensichtliche Fehlbeschreibungen,
muss diese gleich nach der Auktion mündlich oder spätestens nach
14 Tagen schriftlich reklamiert werden. Wird die Reklamation als gültig
anerkannt, hat der Ersteher bei gleichzeitiger Rückgabe des Versteige
rungsgegenstandes das Recht auf Erstattung des Kaufpreises und des
Aufgeldes. Weitere Ansprüche können nicht geltend gemacht werden.
13. Nach abgeschlossener Auktion können wir nicht versteigerte Gegenstände zu den vorliegenden Versteigerungsbedingungen im Namen
und für Rechnung des Einlieferers freihändig verkaufen.

be 23 %. If agreement is reached with us to make payment with a
credit card an additional 3 % will be charged. The buyer is responsible
for the validity of the credit card and for the authorization of the
purchase price by the credit card company.
7. The lots will be auctioned in numerical order as listed in the catalogue. The German text of the auction catalogue is binding. The
auctioneer reserves the right to group numbered lots together during
the auction, to separate them, to remove or to change the order as he
sees fit. He may refuse an offer and rescind an accepted bid in order
to continue bidding.
8. Bids will be in increments of approx. 10 % of the starting price. As
a rule the start price is the one to be found in the catalogue unless
there have been higher, written bids. In this case the auctioneer will
call a bid favoring the highest bidder. This will be approx. 10 % higher
than the written offer made by the second highest bidder. Should
there be more than one written, highest bid, the lot will be awarded
to the first to arrive. The hammer price is the net purchase price.
9. Ownership of the goods only passes to the buyer after payment
in full has been made. When a lot is hammered down, the acquirer is
obligated to accept and pay for the lot for which he bid. In no circumstances will the auctioneer accept the return of any lots. Once the
hammer has fallen all risk with regard to the article is transferred to
the acquirer. However, the lot will only be delivered to the acquirer
after full payment of the hammer price including all taxes, fees and
charges due. Should agreement be reached to deliver the item before
full payment has been made, ownership of the article in question
remains vested in the supplier until payment has been made in full.
10. In the absence of an agreement to the contrary, at the end of the
auction bidders in the auction rooms must collect and pay for the
lots they have acquired. Where payment is to be made by bank transfer, the total purchase price is due immediately together with any
bank charges. Invoices for the items acquired either in writing or by
telephone will be sent to the highest bidder immediately after the
end of the auction. These must be paid within 8 days of receipt, in full
and without deduction. Where payment is delayed interest will be
due at a rate 5 % above the prevailing rate of the Austrian National
Bank. Payment may also be made by cash on delivery, money or
postal order or banker’s check. The acquirer accepts responsibility for
all expenses involved in these methods of payment. Costs relating to
packing, transport and transport insurance are not included and will
be separately detailed on invoices. We would also like to bring to your
attention that we only invoice for packaging at cost price and that
because of agreements reached with transport companies we can
offer favorable transport and insurance rates. Nevertheless, storage
and packaging is at the buyer’s own risk.
11. In the case of refusal to accept delivery or late payment, the buyer
is liable for all damages and costs arising there from. In either of
these cases the auctioneer may require that either the contract be
fulfilled or damages resulting from non-fulfilment be paid. The lots
may then be auctioned again at the expense of the buyer. In this
case the buyer is liable for the reserve price and has no claim on any
additional revenue made.
12. Auctioned items cannot be returned. However, any case of obvious
misrepresentation (except defects as described in paragraph 3) must
be reported immediately after the auction verbally or in writing not
more than 14 days thereafter. If the complaint is accepted as valid, the
buyer has a right to the re-payment of the purchase price and charges
upon simultaneous return of the auctioned object. No other claims
will be entertained.
13. After completion of the auction we are entitled to sell any nonauctioned items subject to the normal conditions of business in the
name of, and for the account of, the supplier.

Für jedes Los wird der Fotograf in fett gedruckten Lettern
genannt. Auf Zuschreibungen, die Transkription von
Beschriftungen, Stempel und Datierung wurde größt
mögliche Sorgfalt verwandt. Für die Inhalte der deskriptiven
Bildbeschreibungen übernimmt der Veranstalter / Herausgeber keine Verantwortung.
For each lot the name of the photographer appears in
bold type heading. While every reasonable effort was
made to provide correct attributions, accurate tran
scriptions of inscriptions, stamps or dates, WestLicht
does not assume the responsibility for the contents of
descriptive texts.
Titel
Titles
Die durch Publikationen und andere Quellen (wie eigenhändige Beschriftung der Fotografen) gesicherten
Originaltitel der Werke werden in Anführungszeichen
angegeben; in den übrigen Fällen handelt es sich um
beschreibende Titel.
Generally accepted titles for photographs have been put
in quotation marks; in other cases, descriptive titles have
been used.
Datierung der Prints
Als Vintage-Print wird ein Abzug bezeichnet, der in unmittelbarer zeitlicher Nähe zur Aufnahme bzw. Produktion
des Negatives vom Fotografen selbst oder einer Person
seines Vertrauens angefertigt wurde. Exakte Datumsangaben
für die Positive sind nur in den seltensten Fällen bekannt.
Die Unterscheidung zwischen einem Vintage-Print und
einem später produzierten Abzug wird in Relation zur
Datierung des Negatives ausgedrückt, beispielsweise bei
einem Silbergelatineprint: 1920, Vintage silver print oder
1920, Gelatin silver print, printed later. Eine möglichst
präzise Datierung, zumindest das Jahr oder Jahrzehnt der
Entstehung wird für jedes Lot angegeben. Die Angaben
basieren auf dem Wissen des WestLicht-Expertenteams
zur Geschichte der jeweiligen Fotografie, ihrer Provenienz
und visueller Begutachtung. Für die Angaben kann keine
Gewähr übernommen werden.
MaSSangaben
Bei den Maßangaben folgen die Maße der Bildbreite
jenen der Bildhöhe. Sofern nicht anders angegeben,
beziehen sich diese Maße auf das tatsächliche Bildformat
ohne jegliche Ränder. Einige Fotografien werden im
Katalog ohne Rand abgebildet.
Prints
A vintage print is one made at roughly the same time as
the negative by the photographer himself or by a person
or procedure satisfactory to the photographer. Specific
dates of positive prints are rarely known. This distinction
between a vintage print and a print done considerably
later would be expressed with the date referring to the
production of the negative. In case of a gelatin silver print:
1920, Vintage silver print or 1920, Gelatin silver print,
printed later.The approximate date, year, or decade of
a positive print is given when possible, based on the
WestLicht’s knowledge of the history of the photograph,
its provenance, and our visual assessment of the
photograph’s physical characteristics. We don’t guarantee
the printing date of the photograph.
Measurements
Measurements are given height preceding width. Unless
otherwise indicated dimensions given are those of the actual
image size (excluding any margins). Some photographs
appear in the catalogue without margins illustrated.
Framing and matting
Photographs described as framed are sold in the frames
in which they have been offered. WestLicht does not take
responsibility for the appearance of the frames or mats,
nor for their conformity to proper standards of conservation.

I agree to be bound by the conditions of sale as printed in the catalogue.
In the event that several bidders submitted identical highest bids, the
auctioneer will start by calling out a price in favor of the highest written bid
that is 10 % higher than the second highest written bid. The one that was
received first will be awarded the winning bid (unless on-site bids outbid
the highest written bid). | Written bids must be received at least 24 hours
before the start of the auction and they must contain the exact address
of the bidder along with the maximum bid exclusive of any commission
or other charges that will be paid if the bid is successful. All bids will be
executed as cheaply as possible up to the maximum price indicated for
each lot. | Bids will be increased in increments of 10 % of the starting price.
The bids for lots valued at EUR 2,000 and higher will be raised in steps
of EUR 200, lots valued at EUR 5,000 and higher in steps of EUR 500.
Lot no.
Title
As a rule the starting price is the one listed in the catalogue, as long as
there are not several higher written bids on hand. | In addition to the
hammer price there are commission charges of 20 %. If agreement is
reached with us to make payment with a credit card an additional 3 % will
be charged. | Invoices for successful bids made in writing or by telephone
will be sent out to the respective high bidders after the auction has ended.
These invoices are to be paid to the auctioneers in full and without any
deductions within eight days. In cases of delayed payment, we will charge
5 % interest above the prevailing rate of the Austrian National Bank. |
Commission bids when placed by telephone have to be confirmed in writing
and are at the risk of the caller. WestLicht Auction reserves the right to
refuse absentee or telephone bids without disclosing the reason.
