On occasion, Christie's has a direct financial interest in the outcome of the sale of certain lots consigned for sale.

This is known as a minimum price guarantee. This is such a lot.

Lot Essay

"The fact that photographs aren’t permanent is like a reminder of our condition; showing their vulnerability protects one from the disappointment of seeing them fade. The inkjet prints have this built in as a concept: their impermanence is clearly imaginable yet the owner also has the original master print and can reprint the inkjet print when they feel it’s necessary."
—Wolfgang Tillmans
