Bidding is now open on an extraordinary photography collection – capturing global icons and natural wonders – assembled from some of the world’s foremost photojournalists.
The 19 images featured in ICFJ’s 2024 auction depict memorable figures and moments. Jackie Onassis on a city street being chased by famous paparazzo Ron Gallela. Barack Obama caught in the imaginary web of a young Spiderman on Halloween, taken by White House photographer Pete Souza. And an Edward Hopper-esque photograph of a ballerina at rest, composed by Maggie Steber.
Others beautifully capture nature and humanity across the world: Eric Meola’s tornado suspended over fields in Colorado, a diver in flight by David Burnett, and more.
ICFJ is pleased to present this special opportunity to own these rare photographs, in addition to others so generously donated by Tim Anger, James Balog, Harry Benson, Jodi Cobb, Lucia Fainzilber, Greg Gorman, Robert Holmes, Gerd Ludwig, Steve McCurry, Claire Thomas, Peter Turnley, Irina Werning and Michael Yamashita.
Each photo is signed, dated and hand-captioned by the photographer.
The photo auction is a highlight of ICFJ’s 40th Anniversary Tribute to Journalists on Nov. 14. The gala draws several hundred media luminaries and other guests in support of journalists worldwide, many of whom put their lives on the line to bring us the news.
ICFJ thanks the renowned PICTO lab for their expert printing and framing services, and for previewing the collection at an Oct. 4 event at the PICTO gallery in New York City. Special thanks to David Elliot Cohen and Eliane Laffont for making this collection possible.
