Art Stars for Sale! Sotheby’s Is Auctioning Off a Studio Visit With David Hockney and a Sitting With Annie Leibovitz for Charity
“Magnum Opus” includes 50 platinum prints by Salgado, straight from the artist’s studio, and dating from his earliest work in 1978 through to today. The prints have been created in larger formats than fans are normally afforded—even in museums exhibitions—with each image measuring around 3 by 4 feet on average.
“For more than three decades, Salgado’s work has featured in our photography auctions,” Sotheby’s head of photographs Emily Bierman told Artnet News. “Following the recent installations of his Amazônia exhibition in Paris and London, I was inspired by his commitment to conservation and the power [of] his body of work to find a way to collaborate.
All proceeds from the selling exhibition, Sotheby’s Impact Gala, and its related auction will benefit the Brazilian reforestation nonprofit Instituto Terra. In fact, many artworks from the gala’s forthcoming sale have been drawn from Instituto Terra’s collection.. © Sebastião Salgado.
