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).

Artist: Walker Evans (American, 1903 - 1975). Title: "Coal Dock Worker, Havana, Cuba [two shovels]". Medium: Gelatin silver print. Date: Composed 1932. Printed 1971.

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.

He worked almost exclusively in aquatint, reproducing the paintings of the grand Republican artists such as David, Vernet, de Gros, and Grenier. Although the majority of his prints were patriotic images, he also produced many fine aquatints of pastoral paintings and genre scenes. His fresh images exhibit the beauty of the medium and exemplify his amazing technical ability. His extremely complex prints are fluid yet detailed; they express the beautiful painterly technique of the medium…" Courtesy: Donald A. Heald. [24412-4-800]

Artist: Pablo Picasso [d'apres] (Spanish, 1881 - 1973). Title: "May 16, 1964 #1 [from the suite 'Le Gout du Bonheur,' image dated 16-5-64 I, untitled as issued]". Medium: Original color silkscreen & lithograph. Date: Composed 1964. Printed 1970. Dimensions: Overall size: 12 7/8 x 9 5/8 in. (327 x 244 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed in pencil, lower right; annotated in pencil (presumably in the artist's hand) lower left; dated in the plate, upper right. An artist’s proof (E.A. - epreuve d’artiste) aside from the edition of 666. Cream wove handmade watermarked rag Velin d' Arches paper, deckle edges three sides. Full margins, as issued. Fine impression. Fine, fresh condition, as issued, with rich, vibrant colors. Literature/catalogue raisonne: Goeppert/Cramer (GC/CR/CBK/CB/C) 148; Bloch (BB) 150. Provenance: the Estate of Guenther Dietz (German, 1919-1995), who printed the edition. Comment(s): Although this work is often catalogued as a lithograph, or silkscreen, or pochoir, or photo-lithograph, in reality it is none of these. By 1964 Guenther Dietz, the printer, had created a unique fine printing system which involved the use of both lithographic plates and serigraphic screens. He and master printers from his company (Guenther Dietz Offizin Handpresse GmbH, Munich & Lengmoos, Germany) printed this work under the direct supervision and participation of Picasso himself. Dietz used grease crayon, lithographic tusche, lead pencil, and charcoal, among others, to create the matrixes and receive Picasso’s approval to print the edition (Cramer, ‘Livres’ 148). The plates and screens were destroyed after printing. Published by Harry N. Abrams, Inc., New York. Image copyright © Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. [30019-2-1600]
