Photographs

At the center of an ever-evolving medium

Our Photographs auctions cover all genres, from current and rising stars to the masters who defined the art form. Our uncompromising standards for quality and long-standing relationships with collectors, photographers, and institutions across the globe reflect our profound commitment to this extraordinary medium. We have set more than 100 world auction records for artists spanning the history of the medium. Additionally, our annual ULTIMATE section presents a curated selection of exceptional, one-of-a-kind masterworks and final-edition pieces, offered as part of our Modern & Contemporary Art auction in London.

Our auctions feature works by Ansel Adams, Man Ray, Cindy Sherman, Diane Arbus, Peter Beard, Robert Mapplethorpe, and many more.
