A Photography Collector Auction Secret!!
OK.. My little MAO-ettes..There's a cool new photo auction up on IGAVEL.COM
Actually, We're almost hesitant to even tell people about this one.. cause our greedy self we would rather keep this gem all to ourself!! So if anyone sees MAO bidding.. You all have to promise, DON'T BID against MAO!! THANKS.
So..It's smaller than Sotheby's, Christies and Phillips but this up and coming photo auction is run by the
almost too honest to be a NYC art dealer, a real photo professional, and ex-Sotheby's specialist Daniel Cooney Fine Art <http://www.danielcooneyfineart.com/>
This time Dan's put together a very high quality sale of 68 lots
Auction photo's include work by : Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Luis Gonzalez Palma, Herb Ritts, , Edward Steichen, Edward Curtis, Bert Stern, Todd Webb, George Tice, Helen Levitt, Wynn Bullock, Bruce Davidson, Brett Weston, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Greg Gorman, Mona Kuhn, Candida Hofer, and John Dugdale just to name drop a few!
(Photo by Herb Ritts, Naomi Campbell, 1990, 20 x 16, signed, #15/25, Lot 1090553)
Wow!! That's one impressive list!! And many of them will sell for some really low prices.
Some of these lots have sweet low reserve levels, there's even several lots with starting bids of $200! There's also a few lots of hard to find photo books and vintage Aperture magazines... FYI...they are the next hot art collectible!!
So, you have a few (7) days left to go and inspect the lots before bidding. They are all at a gallery in Chelsea :
Daniel Cooney Fine Art
511 West 25th Street
New York, NY 10001

Oh.. and FYI.. if you meet Dan.. Please tell him Mike at MAO sent you.. I hear he gives all the smart MAO readers a special auction discount catalog!!
Vintage Aperture Magazines.... you are so right on that one. I recently decided it would be great to try to acquire a complete set of Aperture, went on Ebay, and was completely depressed by the prices the old issues are selling for. Sigh.... I'm always behind the collecting trends.
