From a Private Collection: 30 Years of Passionate Collecting - Part 1
This lot comes from the first part of a distinguished private collection to be offered with Chiswick Auctions and was assembled over more than three decades with instinct, emotion, and a deep appreciation for the photographic medium. Purchased through galleries, auctions, or directly from photographers, each work was chosen for its impact—be it technical, thematic, or visual— shifting from room to room in quiet dialogue with its surroundings.
