Some of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s Most Famous Photos Are Up for Auction

A large collection of Henri Cartier-Bresson's photographs will be offered at auction starting on December 9 and includes quite a few images that have never appeared at auction before.

Henri Cartier-Bresson lived from 1908 to 2004 and is considered a master of photography, specifically what would become defined as street photography, a genre he is often credited with creating.

"Cartier-Bresson’s passion for photography was cemented in 1932 when he acquired a 35mm Leica, the handheld camera that revolutionized twentieth-century photography and freed him to photograph spontaneously anytime, anywhere," Sotheby's writes, describing the artist and the collection.

"This manner of photographing ‘on the sly’ -- his first book was called Images à la sauvette (1952), which roughly translates to ‘images on the sly’ -- would become his trademark. For the rest of his illustrious career, Cartier-Bresson traveled the world, making images that would leave an indelible mark on the history of photography."

Cartier-Bresson spent more than 30 years photographing on assignment for Life and other publications, traveled extensively around the world, and documented some of the most influential events of the 20th century. Ironically, Cartier-Bresson did not like to be photographed and enjoyed his privacy. It is said that he did not dislike the idea of being photographed intrinsically, but rather he was embarrassed to be photographed simply because he was viewed as famous.

The photos coming to the auction are from the collection of Peter Fetterman, noted gallerist, collector, and longtime friend of Cartier-Bresson and are being presented through Sotheby's. Nearly all photographs on offer were acquired directly from Cartier-Bresson by Fetterman.

The 95 photos that will come up for auction include images from his travels to Indida, parts of the United States, and rural portrait scenes and includes some of his most famous photos such as Behind the Gare Saint Lazare, Paris , Hyères, France , and Siphnos, Greece.

Sotheby's says that the number of images in the collection that have never been offered for auction before is surprising, considering how prolific Cartier-Bresson was.

The collection is expected to draw significant value, as many of the photographs are expected to run for tens of thousands of dollars. For example, the photo below ( Behind the Gare St. Lazare, Paris from 1932, signed in ink and embossed in the margin) is likely one of if not the most famous photos Cartier-Bresson ever captured and is estimated to be valued between $12,000 and $18,000.

The auction will be open for bidding from December 9th to the 16th, and a public exhibition will be on view in our York Avenue galleries from December 11th to the 15th. An overview of the photos that are set to be auctioned can be viewed on Sotheby's website.

TIME Has Published its 100 Best Photos of the Year

TIME Magazine has published its annual selection of the 100 best photos of the year. The publication's selection of images paints a picture of a year of recovery after 2020 that may not quite be what many hoped for.

The TIME photo department's selection of images is an unranked list that doesn't name one particular image as best, but rather is just a series of photos that covers the most important and iconic moments of 2021. From George Flloyd's familly cheering at the jury's verdict, to the Taliban walking into Kabul, to Olivia Rodrigo in the West Wing, the photos distill a year down to a few select moments.

TIME writes that while 2020 was "uniquely cursed" and "the worst year ever," 2021 was one fraught with incomplete transitions and half-kept promises. The year got off to a rough start in the United States with the January 6 insurrection and assault on the capitol, and while the world sputtered back to life after coming to a near standstill the previous year, much of the planet has been held back due to limited supply and access to vaccines for the COVID-19 virus.

In a period where news and reality are often questioned, TIME notes that this year marks a concerted effort at addressing the problem and there are those who seek to guard the value of the pixels photographers capture. Multiple organizations are joining together to protect the provenance of photos that are published through the Content Authenticity Initiative and Microsoft's Project Origin.

"The mottled, checkerboard of a year is one we can all witness in the 100 images TIME’s photo editors present here, unranked, as the best of 2021," the publication writes in a forward ahead of the photos.

Below are four of the covers TIME produced for the series of 100 photos that will be available on newsstands and to subscribers of the magazine:

Capitol Police officer Eugene Goodman confronts supporters of President Donald Trump who invaded the building on Jan. 6 to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election win. On Washington’s darkest day since Sept. 11, 2001, Goodman steered an angry mob away from the Senate chamber toward police. Five people, including an officer, would die, and more than 140 officers would be injured. | Christopher Lee for TIME By correctly spelling murraya, a genus of tropical Asiatic and Australian trees, Zaila Avant-garde won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Orlando on July 8. Two years after entering the world of competitive spelling, the 14-year-old from Harvey, La., made history as the first Black American to win the contest (and the $50,000 that came with it). | Scott McIntyre — The New York Times/Redux On the Greek island of Evia, wildfires resulting from the country’s worst drought in three decades approach the home of Ritsopi Panayiota, 81, on Aug. 8. | Konstantinos Tsakalidis — Bloomberg/Getty Images With a cease-fire in effect, a Palestinian girl stands in her destroyed home in Beit Hanoun, Gaza, on May 24. Twelve in Israel and more than 250 Palestinians were killed in the deadliest escalation in the conflict since 2014, as unguided rocket fire from Hamas, which governs the 2 million people in Gaza, was answered by Israeli air and artillery strikes. The battle erupted after Israeli authorities moved against Palestinians at sensitive sites inside Israel, including Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa Mosque. | Fatima Shbair — Getty Images
