Spring Auction Preview at View From the Edge...

Erik's posted a thorough preview of next week's auctions at Christie's,Sotheby's and Phililp's.

I'm not a collector myself, so the financial portion of the auctions is not as interesting to me as how the prices and selections impact historical views of importance and validate (or invalidate) canonical photographers. Plus, the works are often exhibited for viewing prior to the auction, so these events offer an opportunity to see works that may not come to a gallery or museum.
