The 2018 Photo Review Benefit Auction
The Photo Review, a critical journal of photography founded in 1976, will celebrate its 42nd anniversary with a spectacular Annual Benefit Auction on Saturday, October 27, 2018, at 7 p.m. at the University of the Arts, Caplan Studio Theater, 16th floor of Terra Hall, 211 South Broad Street in Philadelphia. The auction will offer the most significant array of photographs from the 19th century to the present that The Photo Review has ever presented.
The event will feature an international slate of photographers as well as a host of Philadelphia artists.
In addition, a broad range of 19th-century and vernacular photographs is up for bid. Also in the auction is a group of pictures from pioneering collector Harvey S. Shipley Miller, sold to benefit the Philadelphia Museum of Art and The Photo Review. The Museum accessioned a significant portion of Mr. Miller?s collection and The Photo Review is now offering others for the mutual benefit of the two organizations. The Museum will use its proceeds from the sale for further acquisitions. Among these photographs are superb prints by the noted pictorialist Eva Watson-Schütze (who studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts with Thomas Eakins and later became one of the founding members of The Photo Secession), cased images from the 19th century, and 19th-century photographs by French photographers like Bisson Frères, William Odiorne, and Achille Quinet, among many others.
According to Photo Review editor Stephen Perloff, prices will range from $50 to $8,000.
A silent auction, concurrent with the live auction, will feature photography equipment and supplies, inkjet paper, museum memberships, theater tickets, books, etc.
