The Photo Review Benefit Auction did well this year as we had our first auction with a live audience since 2019. But as always some lots did not meet their minimum reserves and were bought in. So once again we are having a sealed bid auction of unsold lots from this year’s auction.

Absentee bidding closes at 5 p.m. EST on December 8, 2023.

We will also honor our “End This Auction” feature through the closing date: bid the high estimate and the auction ends immediately and the lot is yours.

Thank you again for your support.

With best wishes for the holiday season,

Sincerely,

Stephen Perloff

Editor
