黑料不打烊

Over 200 photographs will go under the hammer at the ninth WestLicht Photography Auction. The selection includes numerous icons from the history of photography, precious examples from the early days of the medium as well as Austrian classics. 
A positively sensational document from the beginnings of photography is a Daguerreotype by Louis Daguerre (1787-1851) himself, a 鈥淧ortrait of Doroth茅e L茅ocardie Cotte鈥� of 1844.
A special focus of this autumn鈥檚 auction is on classic reportage photography from the 1940s to 60s in the vein of Magnum or Life Magazine, with vintage prints by Werner Bischof, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ren茅 Burri, Cornell Capa, Robert Frank, Marc Riboud and George Rodger.
Alfred Eisenstaedt, one of the most productive photographers of the twentieth century, is represented by 12 photographs in total; among them his famous picture 鈥淒rumMajor, University of Michigan鈥�. The auction features further icons of twentieth century photography, like Bill Brandt鈥檚 鈥淟ondon (Nude with Bent Elbow)鈥�, 1952, Harold E.
