Artist: Diane Arbus (American, 1923-1971). Title: "Child with a Toy Hand Grenade in Central Park, New York [medium format]". Medium: Original vintage photogravure. Date: Composed 1962. Printed 1972. Dimensions: Overall size: 11 x 9 1/4 in. (279 x 235 mm). Image size: 8 1/2 x 8 3/8 in. (216 x 213 mm).Lot Note(s): Stamped with the photographer's name, verso. Edition size unspecified, presumed small. High-grade archival paper. Printed to the edge of the sheet. Fine, quality printing. Very good to fine condition. Comment(s): According to “Gordon’s Photography Prices” the auction record for a silver print of this image is $511,500 realized at Christie's, New York, 4/6/2017, lot #12. This edition authorized and supervised by Doon Arbus. Diane Arbus’s direct, confrontational approach to photography meant that her subjects did not always like their portraits. After seeing his, the writer Norman Mailer famously said, "giving a camera to Diane Arbus is like putting a live grenade in the hands of a child". Here the grenade is just a toy, yet Arbus again makes an unconventional portrait of her subject. On the contact sheet, it is evident that Arbus did make ‘typical’ portraits of the boy smiling, but she chose to print only this unusual shot. He stands stiffly, his hands clenched like claws, with a crazed expression on his face. The portrait seems sinister, yet it could reflect something more ordinary – the exasperation of any child made to stand still and have his picture taken (courtesy National Gallery of Scotland).

Abrams, Inc., 2004. Comment(s): Warhol's lifetime Tiffany Christmas cards are rare, and extremely rare signed. The most recent sale price we found of a card, unsigned and without the envelope, was $3,000 at Christie's New York, December 1st, 2014, lot #62. In 1956, in addition to all the work Warhol was getting drawing shoes and bags, he was commissioned to design Christmas cards for Tiffany & Co. on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Warhol's cards were then published by Tiffany's every Christmas up to 1962, the year he started to exhibit his paintings of soup cans. Our example offered here is from the original first printing in 1960. The cards were subsequently reprinted in a slightly larger size in 1980.

(194 x 152 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed in pencil on the mount, lower right; dated and numbered on the mount, lower left. Planned edition of 100, of which 88 were printed. Mounted into debossed areas on Strathmore double weight rag board. Flush mounted as issued. Fine, quality contact printing from the original negatives by Ives-Sillman/Thomas A. Brown, under the supervision of Walker Evans. Very good condition; would be fine save a small imperfection in the hat of the subject, visible in the raking light. Comment(s): This iconic Evans photograph is from the beautifully conceived and executed portfolio “Walker Evans: 14 Photographs,” published by Ives-Sillman, New Haven, CT, in 1971. Evans selected this image for the portfolio as representative of the work he did in Cuba, where he made a series of single and group portraits of coal dock workers. Arguably the most important and compelling image of the series, this man, holding not one but two shovels, was the oldest of the workers and the central figure in all of the group portraits. The photograph was included by Evans in his 1938 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. A photocopy of the very rare prospectus and price list for the portfolio accompanies the lot.

The man has a great bowler cap on, an ominous black cape, an umbrella by his side, and what appears to be a cigarette sticking out of his mouth. He is facing toward Cartier-Bresson but looking off to the side. It was almost as if Cartier-Bresson caught this man by surprise and he turned around to see what was going on. In the background you have the alley of leafless trees going all the way straight down. The whole photo feels a bit dark, mysterious, and slightly sinister” (courtesy Lorenzo Rabotoff).

Artist: Otto Messmer (American, 1892-1983). Title: "Felix the Cat Posing #2 [Pat Sullivan Studio]". Medium: Pen and ink on paper. Date: Composed e1970s. Dimensions: Overall size: 5 5/8 x 4 1/8 in. (143 x 105 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed lower right. Cream colored wove paper. Very good to fine condition with no condition issues. Comment(s): The closest comparable sale we have found to our example is a sale for $1,912 at Heritage Auctions, April 9, 2015, lot #94002. Messmer created the character Felix the Cat, the world’s most popular cartoon star before Mickey Mouse. The attribution has been questioned by some, in part because of the claims of Australian cartoonist, promoter, and producer Pat Sullivan, for whom Messmer worked. The cartoons were unfailingly billed as “Pat Sullivan’s Felix the Cat." Sullivan widely asserted that he and his wife had invented a black cat as a film character. Although the two undoubtedly collaborated to some degree, and it is unlikely that the cartoon would have been as popular without Sullivan’s promotion, Messmer’s biographer concluded that Messmer himself was the creative mind behind Felix, and that assertion is broadly accepted. Finally, most prominent comics and animation historians support Messmer's claim, as do the veterans of the Sullivan studio. Image copyright © The Estate of Otto Messmer. [29877-1-1500]
