Flip Schulke, Ali Underwater, 1961. Photographs New York.

\n\n

Flip Schulke

\n\n

Nick Wilson, Head of Editions, Photographs and Design, Asia

\n\n

I find myself drawn in by the composition of this photograph, which captures the powerful athlete in an iconic stance framed between the honeycomb reflection of the sunlight on the bottom of the pool and his own shadow reflected in the undulating surface above. The image was taken when Cassius Clay (later to change his name to Mohammad Ali) was still only nineteen, three years before he would win the heavyweight boxing championship. Encapsulating the boxer’s strength and poise, it is equally reflective of his spirit and symbolic of his active part in the Civil Rights movement at the time.

\n\n

The story behind the photograph, however, is as fascinating and revealing as the image itself. Knowing the shoot would be by the pool and that Schulke liked underwater photography, Clay had told Schulke that underwater boxing was part of his training regular training routine. It was only years later, when he met the boxer again, that Schulke realized he had been duped — this was not only the first time Clay had done this routine underwater, but he did not even know how to swim. His ability to carry this off says everything about his mesmerizing confidence, charisma, and innate knack for creating an iconic media-worthy moment.

\n\n

Tobias Sirtl, Specialist, Modern & Contemporary Art, Germany

\n\n

Gregory Crewdson sparks my imagination and curiosity like few other photographers. What story does he tell in this picture? Who are these people? What will happen next? What time of day is it? Each viewer has their own perception, perhaps even more so over time, depending on their own history and moment in life. Stimulating an invigorating thought process that grows over time is one of the best things that art can do for me.

\n\n

Anne Collier, Double Marilyn, 2007. Photographs New York.

\n\n

Rachel Peart, Head of Department, Photographs, London

\n\n

I have always been drawn to Collier’s work in recontextualizing objects. In Double Marilyn, she features an icon and challenges us to rethink its meaning. I love that Collier gives us enough visual context to show these are faded objects, yet in our collective memory, Marilyn’s image remains vibrant, creating something deeper in her clever arrangement. The neutral background and doubling technique highlight each object’s uniqueness, revealing how wear changes their impact. This straightforward style creates an interesting tension, allowing us to engage with the work without the usual emotional weight.

Helen Levitt

\n\n

Helen Levitt, Untitled (boy drawing), 1936–1945. Photographs from the Martin Z. Margulies Foundation Part II.

\n\n

Vanessa Hallett, Deputy Chairwoman, Americas, and Worldwide Head of Photographs

\n\n

Having grown up in New York City surrounded by the street drawings of Keith Haring and other talented graffiti artists, I’ve always felt that Helen Levitt's photographs from the 1930s show an early, seminal version of this art form. Levitt’s street scenes have always stayed with me as the equivalent of comfort food in the photographic medium. Her photographs capture a social history of working-class neighborhoods enlivened by the spirit of children playing games, passing time on the often gritty streets, and sharing their fanciful and exuberant chalk drawings. I love seeing these old New York City neighborhoods, the activity of the children, and their often fun(ny) drawings demonstrating that as much as the world changes, many things stay the same. I love New York City and Levitt’s photographs seem to share that sentiment.

Alfred Stieglitz

\n\n

\n\n

Alfred Stieglitz, From the Back Window--291--Snow Covered Tree, Back-Yard, 1915. Photographs New York.

\n\n

Chris Mahoney, Senior International Specialist, Photographs

\n\n

There’s something about a snowy evening in the city that completely transforms the urban environment. Edges are softened, noises are muffled, and a sense of calm settles upon the city, if only briefly. This evanescent state is what Alfred Stieglitz captures so masterfully in From the Back Window--291--Snow Covered Tree, Back-Yard. Rendered here as a platinum print, this photograph is a bravura performance in both aesthetic and technical terms. Stieglitz exploits the platinum process’s ability to depict tonal nuance, and its subtle shifts in gray define the detail of the twilight scene and convey its atmospheric qualities. Looking at this photograph is like listening to a Bach partita in which every element is perfectly annunciated and works harmoniously within the whole perfection of the composition.

\n\n

Peter Hujar

\n\n

\n\n

Peter Hujar, David Wojnarowicz (Village Voice "Heartsick: Fear and Loving in the Gay Community"), 1983. Photographs New York.

\n\n

Sarah Krueger, Head of Department, Photographs, New York

\n\n

If I were to assemble a thematic collection, it would be singularly focused on the human embrace. I would surround myself with photographs that convey love, tension, and compassion in moments of stillness.

\n\n

In Peter Hujar’s David Wojnarowicz, the backdrop is downtown New York in the early 1980s, when the uncertainty of the fast-emerging AIDS epidemic led to a craving for, yet fear of, physical connection. With Wojnarowicz poignantly wrapping his arms around the chair as one would a companion, the image becomes a visual metaphor for the love, loss, and isolation within the gay community.

\n\n

The image itself is even more tender when you reflect upon the lives of Hujar and Wojnarowicz and so many others who were lost to AIDS-related illnesses within the decade. It took another 6 years and another embrace, this time by Princess Diana hugging a child with AIDS in 1989, to disarm the stigma of touch for those afflicted.

\n\n

The image speaks so clearly of a certain time and place. Each time I look at the print I see something new.

Richard Misrach, Stranded Rowboat, Salton Sea, 1983. Photographs from the Martin Z. Margulies Foundation Part II.

\n\n

Any architect will tell you that buildings are in a perpetual state of deterioration. From the moment they’re erected, they’re in the process of failing, seeming to collaborate with both forces of nature and the impacts of human presence. The earth shifts, buildings settle, and like a garden, the constructed networks of buildings and infrastructure require human intervention to avoid decay or overgrowth. In this sense, the built environment merges with the natural one, and to gaze across it is to see the vestiges of a manufactured ecosystem, piecing together which parts have been cultivated and which have been forgotten.

\n\n

For this reason, photography’s unique ability to capture a single moment in time offers us a glimpse of this inherently human process as it unfolds. After all, construction systems require many societal inputs, from architects to businesses, buyers, renters, designers, governments, investors, laborers, and more. Viewing such works is to glimpse the impacts and impressions left on nature by these social roles, proving that architectural and structural photography is, in fact, human photography.

\n\n

Within the Martin Z. Margulies Foundation Collection, a curatorial commitment to artistic depictions of the built environment allows us to focus on these ideas in more ways than one. This selection — coming to auction on 9 October at Phillips — is not mere documentation; it explores the cultural and sociological implications of the spaces in which we live and work and the physical and ideological structures we come together to build. These works challenge us to rethink how we see and consider the world we’ve built and its impact on the environment we’ve inherited, lest we allow it to decompensate. And there’s perhaps no better location or photographer for which to begin considering these issues than the city of Detroit, Michigan, and the pioneering artist Stan Douglas.

\n\n

Stan Douglas and Detroit

\n\n

\n\n

Stan Douglas, From Detroit Photos, 1997–1998. Photographs from the Martin Z. Margulies Foundation Part II.

\n\n

In his Detroit Photos series, Douglas freezes his vision of the city’s urban decay across 18 months from 1997 to ’98. The artist is well known for exploring modernity’s impact on collective memory, so it follows that Detroit would be a fertile subject for him — when we listen to the political rhetoric in America today, we realize that the auto industry’s boom era, and thus Detroit’s fortune and unraveling, is a canonical myth in the American collective consciousness.

\n\n

\n\n

Stan Douglas, From Detroit Photos, 1997–1998. Photographs from the Martin Z. Margulies Foundation Part II.

\n\n

Across these works, we see empty streets, partially collapsed buildings, shuttered businesses, and abandoned construction sites in the structural remnants of a previously thriving society. Detroit had seen several prosperous decades since the end of the Second World War, but urban infrastructure began to decline in the 1960s and ‘70s as investments in suburban developments increased, urban demographics shifted, manufacturing plants closed, and municipal tax income dwindled.

\n\n

\n\n

Stan Douglas, From Detroit Photos, 1997–1998. Photographs from the Martin Z. Margulies Foundation Part II.

\n\n

By the time Stan Douglas captured these photographs, the impact of decades of structural decay could be seen in Detroit, exacerbated by the economic uncertainty that rippled through global markets in 1997 and ’98 and the local tornados in 1997. But through these occasionally devasting scenes, we can hold an array of responses. In addition to the story of how society has failed Detroit, we’re also left with the impression of the community’s determination to find the best way of life in the face of adversity. These images continue to resonate today, as issues around the preservation of built environments have been of crucial cultural relevance as we discuss ideas of community, migration, isolation, gentrification, and equity.

\n\n

Thomas Struth and the Ruhr Valley

\n\n

In many ways, the people of Detroit are the subjects of Douglas’ photographs, even though they are not seen. This approach echoes that of German artist Thomas Struth in the series Unconscious Places. Taken in Germany’s Ruhr Valley, these photographs also showcase empty streets but call to mind the humanistic aspects of such constructed environments. Like Detroit, the Ruhr Valley is an industrial region, but one that was reconstructed in the decades following the Second World War, around the time Detroit was experiencing its first major economic boom and the resulting proliferation of construction.

\n\n

\n\n

Thomas Struth, Selected Images of the Ruhr Valley from Unconscious Places, 1984–1989. Photographs from the Martin Z. Margulies Foundation Part II.

\n\n

Struth studied with Bernd and Hilla Becher, cultivating a disciplined practice that emphasized photographic precision and detailed documentation of the world. But Struth’s approach here widens this scope conceptually, approaching the street as a universal communal site in the modern world and raising questions about how these environments come to be. Struth has explained, “As to the title, Unconcious Places, I have always wanted to explore our common responsibility. On what level are we all responsible for letting it happen?”

Ed Ruscha and Southern California

\n\n

Seen through the lenses of observant artists, imagery of the built environment highlights the inner workings of our culture, and in considering these works, curious realities emerge. For instance, when we view such images in an urban gallery, we become aware of our place within them. In this sense, art cannot escape the built environment — it’s either displayed inside of it or, in the cases of public sculpture or land art, it becomes a part of it. What’s more, our eyes must wrestle with the antinomy between the complex social challenges implied by many of these works and the visual pleasure derived from the fact that they’re so captivating when considered as pure images.

\n\n

\n\n

Ed Ruscha, Parking Lots, 1967. Photographs from the Martin Z. Margulies Foundation Part II.

\n\n

Take Ed Ruscha’s early photographs of parking lots in Southern California, for example. Taken from a helicopter one morning in 1967, these aerial photographs focus on primarily empty parking lots, emphasizing the pure geometry of Southern California’s built environment from a rarely seen vantage point. These remarkable early works demonstrate the artist’s interest in the physical structures of urbanity that he has since continued to explore in iconic and deadpan depictions of gas stations, vacant lots, cars, and text. As much as Parking Lots highlights the trappings of American life through car culture, baseball, consumerism, and mass media, the works also freeze a moment in the growing urban sprawl of the American West that continues today.

\n\n

Olafur Eliasson and Iceland

\n\n

Built environments are not always urban and dense. Sometimes, they demonstrate a cultural need for life to be more closely integrated with the natural environment. For this, look to the grid of 56 images of remote Iceland captured in Olafur Eliasson’s The hut series. With these works, Eliasson continues his earlier exploration of the natural environment of his native country, but here, he turns the lens to small structures that are dwarfed by the colossal surrounding landscape.

\n\n

\n\n

Olafur Eliasson, The hut series, 2012. Photographs from the Martin Z. Margulies Foundation Part II.

\n\n

Though these placid images showcase comfortable communal environments intended for farmers and transient visitors, the artist’s choice to photograph these subjects in the transitional spring season calls to mind the fact that built structures, our own lives, and the natural world are in constant flux. Indeed, if more drastic measures are not taken to protect our environment, in a few decades, it may be difficult to tell which season this image was captured, as we may see melting snow at points throughout the year. Eliasson is aware that our ecosystem and climate are as fragile as the buildings we construct, and he takes these considerations seriously in his art and his work as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations.

\n\n

Across these photographs, what is perhaps most striking is how transient the built environment can be and how powerfully the medium’s temporal nature meets that fact. They not only serve as documents of the physical structures of society at a fixed point in time but also the stratified construction of society itself. What’s so captivating about them is that the images can remain fixed while our understanding of them will continue to be informed by cultural and structural developments worldwide.
