Bloomfield, NJ, USA, May 3, 2024 -- Nye & Company Auctioneers will hold two online-
only photography sales on Wednesday, May 15th, starting at 10 am Eastern time, with The
Photographer’s Lens; A Collection of Images auction, featuring about 200 lots of contemporary
photography from a private New York City and Ibiza, Spain collection; followed by a Various Owners
Photographs auction at 2 pm Eastern, featuring over 100 lots of traditional and contemporary
photography.
The single-owner Photographer’s Lens; A Collection of Images sale features a variety of
contemporary photography from artists across the globe. The captured images will be sure to delight
even the most seasoned and scrupulous collector, dealer and institution alike.
The auction includes several well-known and museum collected photographers from across Europe,
South America and the Middle East – artists such as Tono Stano, William Ropp, Philippe Pache, Didier
Ben LouLou, Valdir Cruz, Virgill Brill, Lynn Bianchi, Slim Aarons, Houshyar Kashani, Mario Cravo Neto,
George Silk, Flip Schulke and John Rooney.
Highlights include works from the Brazilian artist Valdir Cruz. Gypsy Woman I and Girl from Mokarita
are both striking images that seem to portray the heart and soul of the sitter. John Rooney, George

2. Silk and Flip Schulke have all captured the magic of Muhammad Ali in their photographs. Somehow,
they all managed to capture lightning in a bottle.
Israeli-born artist Didier Ben LouLou has managed to depict the people of Israel and illustrated some
of the struggles they face and the hardship of the landscape. This is especially poignant relative to
what has been happening as of recent. His use of the Fresson printing technique is incredibly rare and
difficult.
Tono Stano, the Slovakian-born photographer, has masterfully portrayed the beauty and sculpture of
the human body in his works. The interplay of light and shape create visually exciting images. The
American photographer, Lynn Bianchi, also captures the human form within a more Classical context.
Her use of the gelatin silver print with a gold wash serves to deliver a warm and almost retro look to
her works.
The Various Owner Photographs sale has a nice mix of both traditional and contemporary
photography. Artists represented in the sale include Ansel Adams, Alfred Stieglitz, Roman Loranc,
Tom Millea, Doris Salcedo, Jay DeFeo and others.
The Alfred Stieglitz picture is a portrait of famed painter Georgia O’Keeffe. This striking image
captures the very essence and soul of the artist in a stoic photograph. Not to be outdone is a terrific
photograph by the celebrated photographer Ansel Adams. His image of two skiers in the glades is a
perfect balance of light, shadow and atmosphere.
Following in the footsteps of Adams, Roman Loranc’s Western style landscapes are visually
stimulating and transformative. His use of gelatin silver prints is a time-honored tradition.
For more contemporary photographs, Doris Salcedo, Willie Cole and Jennifer Bolande are all
represented with a variety of c-prints, inkjet and pigment prints. Salcedo does a masterful job of
capturing the urban landscape of Istanbul in her series of works, while Willie Cole uses the c-print to
capture his modern interpretations of objects.
