Eadweard Muybridge plates on Animal Locomotion<\/em> sell for $62,500 US<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. I received an email the other day from Ms Daile Kaplan of Swann Galleries<\/a> talking about their latest sale of photographs and books by auction.<\/p>\n

She says, “On Valentine’s Day we offered\u00a0Icons & Images: Photographs & Photobooks<\/a>, precisely 65 years after Swann held the first U.S. auction dedicated to photographs. Known as The Marshall Sale, the top lot in the February 14, 1952 auction was a collection of more than 1,000 plates from Eadweard Muybridge\u2019s\u00a0Animal Locomotion<\/i>, which sold for just $250.<\/p>\n

“Tuesday’s auction cleared $1.5M, with a selection of 50 plates from Muybridge’s 1887 magnum opus topping the auction at\u00a0$62,500.<\/p>\n

“Also available were multiple works by Ansel Adams, Edward S. Curtis and Roy DeCarava, and a set of\u00a022 large prints from NASA<\/a>\u00a0missions that reached\u00a0$43,750.”<\/p>\n

I remember the NASA prints. I was in Montreal at the time and a woman bought some for a young family member of the celebration of the first moon walk. She kindly ordered a set for me as well. My first daughter was born that summer when America first put a man on the moon – 1969.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
