After World War I, during Austria’s First Republic (1918-1934), the Social Democrats governed Vienna, creating what was known as "das rote Wien" (“Red Vienna”). Their primary focus was on promoting social housing, known as Gemeindebau. The architectural photographs presented here feature typical residential buildings from the Gemeinde Wien in various city districts, including V. Bezirk (Reumannhof, 2 images), XIII. Bezirk (Hermeswiese), XV. Bezirk (Schmelz), XVII. Bezirk (Kongressplatz), XVIII. Bezirk (Lindenhof), and XX. Bezirk (Denisgasse/Spaungasse). The collection also includes a photograph of an unrealized modern iron construction in Breslau (from the collection of Adolf Behne). – Most with a few minimal handling marks/creases in corners, one with stronger creases and tear in right edge, otherwise in very good condition.

Details

Untitled, from the series ”Io non ho mani che mi accarezzino il volto”, 1961-1963. Gelatin silver print, printed later. 12,7 x 18 cm. Signed by the photographer in black ink in lower right corner; "Archivio Mario Giacomelli" certificate of authenticity written in ballpoint pen and signed by Simone Giacomelli on the verso.

Mario Giacomelli’s work Io non ho mani che mi accarezzino il volto (1961-1963) is a seminal series capturing the playful yet contemplative lives of young seminarians, blending motion and stillness to reflect the tension between spiritual devotion and human yearning. Characterized by Giacomelli’s distinctive high-contrast black-and-white style, the series transforms everyday scenes into abstract, almost surreal compositions, highlighting his ability to transcend traditional documentary photography. – Top left corner slightly bumped, otherwise in excellent condition.

1.000€ (US$ 1,042)

Details

Kee in Bed, East Hampton N.Y. 1988. Cibachrome print. 27 x 39 cm (30,5 x 40,5 cm). Signed by the photographer in felt-tip pen and annotated by another hand on verso.

Nan Goldin's work explores themes surrounding the LGBT community, intimacy, the HIV crisis, and the opioid epidemic. Her seminal work, "The Ballad of Sexual Dependency" (1986), which includes this image, serves as a poignant documentation of post-Stonewall gay subculture, intertwined with intimate portrayals of Goldin's family and friends. Often compared to Diane Arbus and Larry Clark, Goldin's style embraces the informal, content-driven aesthetic of the snapshot, with a focus on capturing private dramas in interior settings such as cluttered kitchens, downtown bars, and disheveled beds. Notably, her adept use of color serves as a catalyst for accentuating the emotional essence of each moment. Goldin resides and works in New York City, Berlin and Paris. – Some minimal scuff marks, otherwise in excellent condition.
