""The medium now operates within the broader contemporary-art market," writes Artnet Auctions Photographs Specialist Carys Lake-Edwards, indicating the increasing integration of photography into the art world."
""A unique photograph is one of a kind. It is not a multiple, or an editioned piece, and no two are exactly alike," said Susanna Wenniger, emphasizing the distinct nature of unique photographs."
""Unique photographs have been around since the beginning of the medium—from Louis Daguerre's daguerreotype portraits of the 1830s to the camera-less photograms of Man Ray in the 1920s," illustrating the historical significance of unique photography."
Artnet Auctions' Spring Photographs showcases a curated selection of historic and contemporary photographs, featuring artists like Peter Beard and Andy Warhol. The auction runs until April 16, 2026.
