artnet Auctions Announces Record-Breaking Sale for Sally Mann
Candy Cigarette (1989) sold for $132,000
More Mann works on artnet Auctions through April 26
Berlin/New York, April 23, 2018-Berlin-based artnet AG, the leading provider
of art market data and online-only fine art auctions, achieved another
record-breaking sale for photographer Sally Mann. Sally Mann is widely
recognized for her intimate black-and-white portraits of her family and her
documentation of the American South. On April 11, Mann's 8 x 10 in. gelatin
silver print titled Candy Cigarette (1989), arguably her best-known work,
sold for $132,000. This sale was a world auction record for the print in
this size, exceeding the previous record of $84,000 in October 2016, also
achieved by artnet Auctions.
Coinciding with her current survey at the National Gallery of Art in
Washington, D.C., artnet Auctions presents Sally Mann: Southern Roots
offering works by the famed photographer. Live for bidding now through April
26, highlights in the sale include Jessie at 12 (diptych) (1994), where she
captures her young daughter before and after a dramatic haircut which
challenges assumptions about gender, as well as Untitled (Antietam #18)
(2001), depicting a Civil War battlefield capturing the experience of
walking among millions of remains. In this photograph, Mann uses the same
19th-century photographic process that would have been used during that
period to create her haunting landscapes, revealing her preoccupation with
the history of the American South.
artnet Auctions is also pleased to announce Perspectives in Photography from
the 1930s to Today, a selection of iconic classic and contemporary images by
acclaimed photographers. This sale is live for bidding now through April 26,
2018.
artnet's announcement of the record sale comes shortly after the company
published record revenue for the 2017 financial year. Last year, the public
company's revenue grew by a total of 8% to $20.8 million, as compared to the
previous year-this was especially driven by 26% growth in the artnet
Auctions segment. "The recent record-breaking sale for Sally Mann is an
example of artnet Auctions continuing success and importance in online
auctions," said Jacob Pabst, CEO of artnet.
