David Armstrong was an American photographer associated with the Boston School of photography, known for his intimate, emotionally resonant portraiture. Emerging in the late 1970s, alongside his close friend Nan Goldin, he developed a distinctive style defined by natural light, shallow focus, and a quiet, contemplative mood. His portraits - often of friends, lovers, and fellow artists - evoke a strong sense of trust and vulnerability, capturing fleeting expressions and introspective moments. – A few very faint handling creases, otherwise in near excellent condition.

Early flight experiments in France

Details

Photographers: Maurice-Louis Branger (1878-1950), Agence Rol (active 1904-1937). Early aviation and aeronautical experiments in France. Ca. 1908-1913. 13 gelatin silver press photographs. Each ca. 12,7 x 18 cm. With press-agency copyright stamps, including “Copyright - Reproduction interdite / M. Rol, 4, rue Richer, Paris IXe” and “Copyright / M. Branger, 5, rue Cambon, Paris,” as well as annotated in blue ink on the verso.

These photographs place French aviation at a moment when scientific research and public spectacle still overlapped, tracing the shift from tethered man-lifting kites to powered aircraft presented before large crowds as signs of technological progress. The images show early box-like biplanes, experimental seaplanes tested on open water, and unconventional designs such as Jérôme Donnet’s circular-wing Donnet Aéraptère, photographed during ground and taxi tests at Suresnes shortly before the First World War. Together, they document a period of intense experimentation, when multiple approaches to flight coexisted before aviation assumed a more standardized form. – Some scuff marks, handling creases, and small tears, as well as minor signs of silver mirroring and discoloration visible on some prints; otherwise all in good to very good condition.

Mick Jagger with Anita Pallenberg in the film Performance. 1968. Vintage gelatin silver print. 23,2 x 28,3 cm. 2 agency stamps and label with typed press text on the verso.

Known for his glamorous celebrity portraits, Cecil Beaton also photographed on film sets. This image shows a very young Mick Jagger in his first screen role in Performance. Shot in 1968 but released only in 1970, the film was initially withheld by Warner Bros. due to its sexual content and graphic violence. Though it received mixed reviews at the time, it has since been reassessed as a highly influential and innovative work of the 1970s, featuring one of the most notable screen performances by a rock musician. – Corners bumped, some handling dents and creases in upper left and lower area, otherwise in good condition.

Bernd and Hilla Becher, the influential German conceptual artists and photographers, collaborated throughout their careers to document industrial architecture with remarkable precision and consistency. They are best known for their extensive typologies of structures such as water towers, blast furnaces, and framework houses, often presented in grids to highlight formal similarities and regional variations. Their work, characterized by its objective style and conceptual rigor, significantly influenced the development of contemporary photography and led to the founding of the Düsseldorf School of Photography, shaping the practices of subsequent generations of photographers. – In excellent condition.

Details

Portrait of Martin Engels, Gera. Ca. 1928. Vintage ferrotyped gelatin silver print, mounted to board. 22,5 x 17,8 cm. Signed and annotated "Gera" by the photographer in pencil below the image on the mount; photographer's "d.w.b" stamp, therein numbered twice in pencil on the verso.

Aenne Biermann was a self-taught photographer whose work, though developed independently of the European avant-garde, aligns closely with the formal clarity and experimental spirit of modernism. Today, several of her images are regarded as icons of New Vision photography, and her work was included in the landmark Film und Foto exhibition in Stuttgart. Following her early death, much of her oeuvre was confiscated under National Socialism, and many prints and negatives remain lost. The present photograph, sent by Biermann to her friend Martin Engels, constitutes a rare and personal document within her oeuvre. Gertrud and Martin Engels, progressive educators and long-time neighbors of the Biermanns in Gera, were part of her close circle. Biermann frequently photographed the Engels family - particularly the children - and such images are now held in major international collections. – Some areas of light surface rubbing, a few nicks in edges, otherwise in very good condition.
