Pierre Molinier developed a highly personal body of work centered on staged self-portraits and photomontages, using his own body as both subject and material. Closely aligned with Surrealism, his practice explores fetishism, gender ambiguity, and erotic desire through fragmentation, repetition, and theatrical mise-en-scène. Working largely outside institutional frameworks, Molinier blurred the boundary between artist and model, anticipating later developments in body art and performance-based photography. – Corners minimally bumped, otherwise in excellent condition.

László Moholy-Nagy moved from Budapest to Berlin in 1920 with his wife, the artist Lucia Moholy. In 1923 he joined the Bauhaus in Weimar, where he initially co-taught the foundation course before becoming head of the metal workshop. Photography soon became central to his practice. Introduced to the medium by Lucia Moholy, he embraced experimental techniques to articulate the dynamism of modern urban life and developed the concept of a “New Vision,” aligned with broader modernist ideas of perception in the postwar era. – In very good condition.

Photographer unknown. Portrait of the artist Wilhelm Morgner. Circa 1910. Vintage sepia-toned gelatin silver print. 22 x 16 cm.
In 1908, on the advice of Otto Modersohn, Wilhelm Morgner moved to Worpswede, where he studied with Georg Tappert, who introduced him to modern art and encouraged plein air painting; the two remained in close contact. After returning to Soest in 1909, Morgner established a studio and began exhibiting, and in 1910 he traveled to Berlin for further study with Tappert. His growing reputation led to publications in Der Sturm and Die Aktion, and participation in major exhibitions, including the Neue Secession in Berlin, the Blauer Reiter in Munich, and the Sonderbund in Cologne. Drafted in 1913, he was sent to the Western Front at the outbreak of the First World War and was killed near Langemark in Flanders in 1917 at the age of 26. – Minimal silver mirroring in edges, more visible at an angle, traces of previous mounting on the verso, otherwise in very good condition.

Photographer: William Anders (1933-2024). Earthrise from Apollo 8. December 24, 1968. Vintage gelatin silver print. 20,3 x 25,2 cm. NASA press text printed on the verso.
This celebrated image shows a black and white version of planet Earth rising above the bleached lunar horizon. The crew had completed three lunar orbits before emerging from the far side and witnessing this sight, surely one of the most astounding ever photographed. Anders stated "I was immediately almost overcome by the thought that here we came all this way to the Moon, and yet the most significant thing we're seeing is our own home planet, the Earth." – One longer, diagonal surface scratch in right area, a few other surface scratches, more visible in raking light, otherwise in very good condition.
