Bonhams New York Photographs sale May 10th

From the press release:

   Bonhams will present 170 lots of stunning photography from famed artists Hiroshi Sugimoto, Edward Weston, Richard Misrach, Ansel Adams, Irving Penn, Helmut Newton and Garry Winogrand amongst others during its Fine Photographs auction in New York.

The auction features several notable highlights, among them are two highly anticipated Hiroshi Sugimoto's Colors of Shadow prints (est. $30,000-50,000). They are a prime example of the artist's initial experimentation with pigment printing, used to illustrate bare geometric interior spaces, and they are the first of their type to be offered at auction.

Also, new to the auction market is Edward Weston's abstract silver gelatin print, Model for Mould (est. $10,000-15,000). This print is an anomaly when compared to the other images of the same period, such as desert-scapes and nudes.
O. Winston Link (American, 1914-2000) Hot Shot Eastbound, Iager, West Virginia, 1957
Gelatin silver print, printed 1992, 15 1/2 x 19 3/8in
Estimate: US$8,000-12,000
