enormously successful auctions over the last several years.

This fifth sale, on October 7, is a dynamic selection of

vintage and modern prints with a uniquely American

flavor reflecting the collectors distinct sensibility in

forming the collection. The Berman Collection is one of the

century art. This sale will be highlighted by important

examples from pioneers of the medium such as Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans and Manuel-Alvarez

Bravo.

Among the highlights is Walker Evans Photographers Display Window, Birmingham, Alabama, (estimate:

$10,000-15,000)pictured above, right, a unique and captivating image by the artist. Taken through the glass

of a rural photographer's display window, this photograph becomes a poignant composite of the American

physiognomy and offers an intimate glimpse into the lifeblood of the American South during the Great

Depression.

The sale will also incorporate a comprehensive

survey of emblematic photographs, with an excellent

selection of work from Dorothea Lange including,

Funeral Cortge, End of an Era in a Small Valley Town,

1938(estimate: $30,000-50,000) and cover lot Guilty,

The work ofAnsel Adams is very well-

represented in the sale, including the top

lot, Clearing Storm, Sonoma County Hills,

1951(estimate: $200,000-300,000)

pictured on following page, left, which

encompasses five remarkable gelatin

silver print enlargements, originally

created as a folding screen for

installation in a Sonoma County ranch. Throughout his career, Adams produced only twelve to fifteen

decorative screens. Most of these screens now reside within the collections of museums and other

institutions, or remain with the artists family. Several screens are missing and may have been destroyed

over the years or, as in the case of the present lot, altered to fit into a new environment. In their present

form, the panels retain their extraordinary visual impact. This is a highly important and extraordinarily rare

work of art, with significant provenance. Adams will also be represented by the mural sized Aspens,

Northern New Mexico, 1958 (estimate: $150,000-250,000) pictured

pg. 1, right, as well as extraordinary and rarely offered five-part Surf

Sequence, A-E, 1940 (estimate: $100,000-150,000)illustrated on table

on page 5.

Christies is also very pleased to include an outstanding group of

photographs byW. Eugene Smith in this sale. Being offered forthe first time, these works were acquired directly from the artists

estate. Many of the best and most popular of Smiths images are

represented here in carefully chosen examples of superb print

quality and condition, many of which were deemed by Smith himself to be his best prints. Among the

highlights is The Walk to Paradise Garden, 1946($20,000-30,000)

shown above, right, which beguilingly depicts Smiths children in

what he described as his signature photograph. Additional

works include Spanish Spinner, Spanish Village, Life, April 9, 1951

(estimate: $15,000-25,000), Mad Eyes, Haiti, 1958-1959($8,000-

12,000) and Albert Schweitzer, Aspen, Life , July 25, 1949(estimate:

$10,000-15,000)pictured left.
