L’asta di 120 fotografie di Henri Cartier-Bresson vendute da Phillips a New York il 12 dicembre hanno realizzato $2,044,125. Le foto provenivano dalla collezione personale di Peter Fetterman, l’ultimo gallerista/mercante di Henri Cartier-Bresson, che ha lavorato con lui dal 1990 fino al 2004 (anno della morte).

Peter Fetterman ha giocato un ruolo di primo piano nella diffusione del lavoro di Cartier-Bresson negli Stati Uniti. Molte foto della sua collezione sono state viste raramente in pubblico. Top price dell’asta per “Hyères” (France, 1932) che da una stima di 12-18 mila dollari è salita fino a una aggiudicazione di ben 100.000 dollari.

 

«Fotografare è trattenere il respiro quando tutte le nostre facoltà di percezione
convergono davanti alla realtà che fugge. In quell’istante, la cattura dell’immagine
si rivela un grande piacere fisico e intellettuale»
Henri Cartier-Bresson
