Figure + Form: Photographs from a Private Collection Phillips is proud to present Figure + Form: Photographs from a Private Collection featured as its own section within Phillips’ 5 April auction. Built over four decades by a collector with an experienced eye and discerning connoisseurship, this stellar selection shows photography’s full expressive range as illustrated by many of the medium’s marquee names. Foremost among these is Alexander Rodchenko, whose Gathering for a Demonstration shows how revolutionary the artist’s vision was. Rodchenko took this photograph from the elevated vantage point of his studio balcony, which throws the scene below into a tautly framed Constructivist composition. The example presented here is a unique print upon which the artist has delineated and emphasized details with the application of pigment on the print’s surface. | Auction: 5 April 2024 10am & 2pm EDT Auction viewing: 27 March - 4 April Location: 432 Park Avenue, New York, NY, United States, 10022 Click here for more information: https://www.phillips.com/auctions/auction/NY040124 | | ABOUT PHILLIPS Phillips: where the world’s curious and bold connect with the art, design and luxury that inspires them.
