Walker Evans: An American Master is an online-only auction of photographs that were once in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the majority of which were printed in conjunction with the large retrospective of Evans’ work presented by the Museum in 1971. The photographs in this auction represent examples from some of the most well-known themes examined by this seminal American photographer. Featured in this group are images from throughout the American South made by Evans for the Resettlement Administration in the mid-1930s; architectural studies from New England circa 1930; as well as some of Evans’ pioneering and persistently influential images of roadside signage. All bids start at $100.
