It seems we have become somewhat inured to the relentless bombardment of images we see in the media of mass migration, disease, starvation and exploitation. We console ourselves that as individuals we are powerless to make a difference to these situations borne for the most part of greed, brutality and misery. How can we, by ourselves, possibly halt the inexorable slide towards the total destruction of our planet and its flora and fauna?
The first few lots of this sale are devoted to photographers who had no such qualms. At home in the US, Ansel Adams championed the preservation of the American wilderness to great effect with his studies of its vast and unpopulated glories. Adams’ early lobbying efforts, on behalf of the Sierra Club, directly led in 1939 to the creation of Kings Canyon National Park, California, putting half a million acres under irrevocable federal protection.
Peter Beard and Nick Brandt’s cameras travelled further afield. Both always intended that their significant talents should be used to expose the egregious and ongoing exploitation of wild animals in Africa. From the 1960s onwards, Beard has documented the systematic destruction of Africa’s wildlife in the National Parks of Kenya’s Tsavo lowlands and Uganda in his highly glamorous and visceral prints. It has been 25 years since the publication of his highly influential book, The End Game, in which he proclaimed, “The deeper the white man went into Africa, the faster the life flowed out of it, off the plains and out of the bush… vanishing in acres of trophies and hides and carcasses.”
Nick Brandt’s recent photographs of the (vanishing) inhabitants of the Kenyan national parks of Ambroseli, Serengeti and Masai Mara, however, reflect a deep emotional connection to his sitters. These are quiet, monumental and moving studies of animals who are, as he puts it, “simply in the state of Being.” Brandt has also co-founded, with conservationist Richard Bonham, Big Life Foundation, which employs 300 rangers in an area of almost two million acres in East Africa to co-ordinate anti-poaching patrols.
May all three and their successors continue to jolt us out of our complacency and inactivity.

In 1935, the groundbreaking African Negro Art exhibition was organized by The Museum of Modern Art in New York. The show included over 600 African sculptures which were for the first time were displayed as works of art, rather than as purely ethnographic objects.

For two years from 1966-1968, Bruce Davidson photographed one block in East Harlem. He went back day after day, standing on sidewalks, knocking on doors, asking permission to photograph what he found there - a face, a child, a room, a family. This was a radical project for the time. The resulting pictures were equally remarkable and arguably Davidson’s finest body of work.
