Photographs auction at Leonard Joel, Melbourne June 19th

   The second photography auction at Leonard Joel brings together two of Australia’s most iconic photographers, Wolfgang Sievers and Mark Strizic.  While Strizic’s endearing images document Melbourne’s inhabitants and its environs in the fifties and sixties, Sievers photographs focus on the role of the worker and machinery in the context of Australia’s emerging industries.

   Popular international photographers such as Bert Stern and Robert Maplethorpe as well as other important Australian photographers including Olive Cotton, Tracey Moffatt, Patricia Piccinini and Darren Sylvester are also on offer.
