Photography

In Cambi Auction House's upcoming Photography Auction to be held on July 6, 2023, photographs will tell the story of this media, with photographic shots and works by progenitors and experimenters, starting from the late 1800s, moving through iconic photographs of the 1900s, to the works of contemporary artists and traversing history and major international events. Artists in the auction include Aleksandr Michajlovic Rodcenko, but also some very important Italian photographers, including Franco Fontana, Mario Giacomelli, artists who used photography for their research in the 1970s-80s, such as Michele Zaza, along with contemporary artists such as Vanessa Beecroft and Francesco Vezzoli.
