The Museum of Modern Art in New York is planning to sell iconic photos – over 400 from its impressive collection. MoMA began collecting modern photography in 1930 and became the first museum in the United States to establish a department entirely focused on photography in 1940. Expected to range from $80,000 to $300,000 USD, the works include photos by Man Ray, Ansel Adams, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, and will be sold between October 2017 and April 2018 through a series of auctions held by Christie’s. Watch the video below to see Darius Himes, International Head of Photographs, discuss the stories of iconic prints.
A full listing of the photos going up for auction is available on Christie’s website.
