DALLAS – We seemingly spend every second of every day scrolling past infinite images filling the screens perched on our decks and held in our hands. We no longer look at our own family photos; we see everyone else’s, endlessly looped. No moment goes uncaptured now; no memory gets left behind. Now try to imagine a world in which the only image of a person or place was an artist’s interpretation – a painting, print or sculpture. That was the world before the invention of photography in 1839, and not long after that, photographers were sending home images of people and places half a world away. Photography shrank the universe, making the unimaginable tangible, the faraway front and center. Heritage Auctions’ In Focus: 19th Century Photographs auction, which closes Sept. 28, revisits that pivotal moment in human history. Absentee and Internet live bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers.

NEW YORK — Many architects dabble in industrial design and furniture design. The ranks of the boundary-crossers include immortal names such as Frank Gehry and Mies van der Rohe. But the one who earns equally high acclaim for his beautiful buildings as well as his ergonomic and modernist furniture is Le Corbusier.
