ABOVE: CHRIS MCCAW, Sunburned GSP#815

(Mojave), 2014, LOT 54

Chris McCaw’s Sunburn prints pare photogra-

phy down to its most basic elements—light and

time. For each unique photograph, McCaw makes

hours-long exposures onto photo-sensitive paper,

allowing the sun to literally burn a trace of its

path across the sky. This sunrise diptych was

made in late winter in the Mojave. McCaw’s work

has been exhibited most recently at the J. Paul

Getty Museum, Los Angeles; the National Gallery

of Art, Washington, D.C.; and the Phoenix Art

Museum. Sunburn, a monograph of his photo-

graphs was published by Candela Books in 2012.

ON COVER: PHILLIP MAISEL,

Feldspar (1101), 2015, LOT 22

Phillip Maisel’s work lies somewhere between docu-

mentation, sculpture, photography, and collage. His

working process begins with impermanent arrange-

ments of everyday materials – paper, glass, mirrors,

tape - staged for the camera’s lens. He then makes

multiple adjustments – repositioning, introducing

or extracting various elements – and photographing

each intervention in a sequence. Elements used in

various stages of photographic processes (color fil-

ters, glassine, and prints themselves) are integrated

back into the artwork either as part of the sculpture

or as collage elements that may be re-inserted into

a new, composite creation.

RICHARD MISRACH, IPS #6829 (Scrub 17),

LOT 85

Internationally-acclaimed photographer Richard Misrach

has been pioneering both color and large-scale photogra-

phy since the 1970s. Recently he has been working on a

series of large-scale negative prints based on landscapes,

seascapes and mostly dead, desert vegetation such as

tumbleweeds and scrub-brush. Early on he began us-

ing iPhone pictures as studies for the large works, but he

came to appreciate the intimate scale and unusual beauty

of the small prints, such as IPS #6829 (Scrub 17) shown

above, in their own right. Richard Misrach is the recipient

of numerous awards in the arts including four National

Endowment for the Arts Fellowships and a Guggenheim

Fellowship. His photographs are held in the collections of

major museums throughout the world.

Welcome to SF Camerawork’s 2015 Benefit Auction. This year we’ve made a few exciting changes that we hope will increase the benefits for our collectors, donors, supporters, and ultimately all the artists we serve. First of all, we’ve moved the time of our event to the evening, after 30 years we felt it was time. But we are dedicated to keeping the live auction as the traditional, formal auction it has always been, and leading us in this will be venerable auctioneer Rick Wester, presiding over our auction for the second year in a row. Mr. Wester is both deeply knowledgable in the field of photography and a dedicated supporter of SF Camerawork.

Another important change we’ve made is to the format of the catalog in your hands. In place of the alphabetical lot order we’ve used in the past, our staff and board have worked together to design a thoughtfully curated presentation of works, bringing many varied artists and their works together to compliment and resonate with one another. We’ve also added background information about certain works, providing some context which will hopefully pique your interest in finding out more.

Finally, we are also offering several “experience” items this year, both widening the range of what we have on offer in the sale and underlining the community spirit that supports SF Camerawork. Many thanks to Fraenkel Gallery, Dickerman Prints, and Kari Orvik and Dave Elfving for contributing their personal time and resources towards this new intiative. If there is one point we would like to emphasize this year, it is that of community. SF Camerawork plays a vital role in providing opportunities and enrichment for artists and the greater community, who in turn support SF Camerawork and make everything we do possible. Please remember that SF Camerawork belongs to all of us, and we hope you find opportunity to enjoy our exhibitions, publications, and events throughout the year.

Our heartfelt thanks to all of the artists who generously donated their works to this sale. The quality of work this year is tremendous and reflects the amazing breadth of contemporary practice in photography.

We look forward to seeing you on the evening of November 7th!

With a European’s cultural background and an eye trained in the German avant-garde, Gutmann observed aspects of American culture that eluded most American artists of his time.“Cord in Harlem, New York” was made in 1935 when Gutmann travelled by bus from San Francisco to New York City, crossing the northern states and returning to San Francsico by way of the southern states in 1937.

Octogenarian photographer DUANE MICHALS is a prolific pro-ducer and witty rule breaker who often includes handwritten text with his imagery.

In his most recent series, Michals’ images assume the shape of traditional Eastern fans that echo woodblock prints pro-duced during the Japanese Edo period, fusing Eastern and Western influences to blur boundaries between fantasy and reality.

During the day of the sale, bids will be accepted from registered and absentee bidders. Bid numbers for registered bidders will be available throughout the day at the registration desk. 4. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. The auctioneer has the right to reject any bid and to advance the bidding at his/her absolute discretion and, in the event of any dispute between bidders, to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the article in dispute. Should there be any dispute after the sale, the auctioneer’s record of final sale shall be conclusive.5. Absentee bids will be accepted by mail, telephone, email, or in person. The Absentee Bid Form (available at sfcamerawork.org/auction or by calling the gallery) may be used to submit bids; additional forms will be available at the gallery. Such bids will be executed at the lowest possible price, subject to the reserve price and other bids. If matching bids have been entered by two or more parties, the first bid received will take preference. 6.

INFORMATION FOR BUYERS

The catalog description includes an estimated price for each lot. These estimates are the approximate prices we expect to be realized. They are not definitive. The bidding begins below the listed prices.

The Auctioneer will use the following increments:

$200-1,000 $50 increments

$1,000-2,000 $100 increments

$2,000-5,000 $200 increments

$5,000 and above $500 increments The name listed at the top of each lot indicates the artist who, in our best judgment, is the author of the work. (No unqualified statement regarding authorship is made or intended.)

When one date is given it refers to the date of the negative from which the print was made in the same year or soon thereafter. Some prints show two dates, the first referring to the negative and the second to the print. When the print date is unknown, but assumed later, “printed later” appears following the negative date.

Measurements generally refer to image size (sometimes paper size) and are given in inches. The height appears first, followed by the width.

All lots with estimated retail values marked by [ ] are offered for sale subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold.

Please note that all statements and terms in this catalog are subject to the provisions of the Conditions of Sale and San Francisco Camerawork makes no warranties or representations with any lot.
