CHICAGO — Hindman’s November 28 Photographs auction was a sale that saw a select number of key lots exceed their top estimates, most lots land within or even below their estimates, and a substantial number passed for not making reserve. Complete results are available at LiveAuctioneers.

In the winner’s circle was perennial favorite Ansel Adams (1902-1984), dean of American outdoor and landscape photography. Winter Sunrise, Sierra Nevada from Lone Pine, California, 1944 was, like most collectible prints, created well after the image was captured and fame gained by the artist — in this case, 1974. Thirty years beyond the image’s creation, Adams would sign a gelatin print’s mount in pencil and stamp it, so that in today’s market, Winter Sunrise would bring $42,500 ($55,250 with buyer’s premium) against presale estimates of $25,000-$35,000.

Adams’ The Teton Range and Snake River, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, 1942 performed even more remarkably, hammering for $110,000 ($143,000 with buyer’s premium). It had been estimated at just $30,000-$50,000. Again, this was a 1974 print from Adams’ studio, signed in pencil on the mount.

Famed photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) brought an incredibly artistic eye to every composition. Six images from her body of work were included, with two strong overperformers. Chrysler Corporation (Gears), 1929 is a gelatin silver print actually printed circa 1929, and signed in pencil on the mount. Estimated at $7,000-$9,000, it hammered for $16,000 ($20,800 with buyer’s premium).

Another print printed and signed near the date of capture, Mass Production and the Man: A Scene at the Ford Plant, 1929, brought $17,000 ($22,100 with buyer’s premium) against a similar $7,000-$9,000 estimate.

Art Shay (1922-2018) was a multi-disciplinary artist who began as a writer at Life magazine, and soon turned to photography, books and much more — all from a guy born in the Bronx and who served as a navigator on more than 50 bombing runs in World War II. Taken soon after mustering out of the AAF, West Side Pool Player, 1950 is an undated gelatin silver print estimated at $700-$900. It hammered for $1,300 ($1,690 with buyer’s premium).
