VAN NUYS, Calif. — A 201-lot sale of Photographs at Los Angeles Modern Auctions showcases some of the leading women in the world of 20th-century photographic art. Scheduled for Friday, March 8, the catalog is now available for bidding at LiveAuctioneers.

Nan Goldin (b. 1953-) is an award-winning American photographer whose career has focused on LGBTQ+ subject matter and the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s and beyond. She also works extensively in fashion photography. Hair is from 2011 and is numbered 2 from an edition of 3. The print is also notated Paris, likely the source of the images in the collage. It is estimated at $25,000-$35,000.

The self-portraits of Cindy Sherman (b. 1954-) sees the photographer donning costumes and makeup and portraying all sorts of people, such as a B-movie actress or a world traveler. Untitled (Under the WTC) is from 1980 but the print, numbered 63 of 100, was made in 2001. It carries an estimate of $15,000-$20,000.

One of the most important and influential photographers of the 20th century was Diane Arbus (1923-1971). Her life’s work was capturing outsiders in their element — carnival workers, sex workers, transvestites, nudists, even parents with children — and always with a sympathetic eye. Much copied, Arbus today remains a powerful influence on successive generations of photographers.

Taken in 1970, a year prior to her death by suicide, Tattooed Man at a Carnival, MD is quintessential Arbus, with excellent use of light and forced perspective. The print presented here was made later by Neil Selkirk, and is numbered 46 from an edition of 75. It bears the Arbus copyright stamp and is estimated at $10,000-$15,000.

A Flower Girl at a Wedding, Conn. is from 1964 and as before, this is a later print issued with the Arbus stamp by Selkirk. It is similarly estimated at $10,000-$15,000.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Ansel Adams, Diane Arbus, Andy Warhol and Fritz Bultman are the headliners at Brunk Auctions’ Photography | Modern Art + Design sale on Friday, October 20. The catalog is now available for bidding at LiveAuctioneers.

The sale’s top lot is a large painting by Fritz Bultman (1919-1985), an abstract expressionist originally from New Orleans. The Ancestress, dating to 1954, measures 72.25 by 35.75in and was originally displayed in an exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1955. Consigned from a private collection, the piece is estimated at $30,000-$50,000.

Atop the photography category is the Ansel Adams (1902-1984) signed and framed print Yosemite Valley Thunderstorm. The famed landscape photographer and environmentalist has a large body of work devoted to Yosemite, including this image dated to 1945.  The lot comes from a private South Carolina estate with an estimate of $15,000-$25,000.

There are few 20th-century photographers who had more impact than Diane Arbus (1923-1971). Her focus on the strange, different and often mundane was never exploitive, but instead sympathetic and celebratory of her subject matter. In The Junior Interstate Ballroom Dance Champions, Yonkers, New York, 1962, we have a classic Arbus shot — two child dancers posing in front of their trophies in a wood-floor gymnasium. The print previously sold at Christie’s in 1997 for $2,530, and now carries an estimate of $15,000-$25,000.

The sale also includes six works by Gordon Onslow-Ford (1912-2003), an English surrealist who lived long enough to become the final surviving member of the 1930s Paris surrealist group headed by André Breton. Live Land I, from 1939, was painted at the Chateau de Chemillieu in Switzerland where Onslow-Ford, his sister Elizabeth, and the group of surrealists, including Breton, had gathered that summer. The painting comes by descent from Elizabeth Onslow-Ford, and is estimated at $12,000-$18,000.
