A black-and-white portrait of musician David Bowie. He’s looking to the left with a focused expression and holding his guitar upright.


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.
