Explore the gallery with Prints, Multiples & Photographs Director Lauren Sanford as she offers perspective on two lots within our Prints & Photographs Auction, beginning with Victor Vasarely’s acrylic painting on wood, titled Kezdi. This multiple is a striking work of Optical Art - an abstract style of art in which color and geometry interact in rhythmic movement, creating a vivid illusion of depth and motion. From there, Sanford presents two goldtones by Edward S. Curtis, each housed in handcrafted batwing frames, their images holding a quiet intensity as they depict scenes with clarity and presence. Curtis, an early 20th-century photographer, devoted much of his career to documenting the American West and Native American communities, producing images that remain both intimate and monumental in their scope. Together, these works linger in the eye, where light, form, and history quietly unfold.

We invite you to experience these remarkable works and other exceptional lots in our Prints & Photographs Auction, which opens for live-online bidding on Friday, May 1 at 10:00 am. Pre-bidding is available now.
