    Deborah Bell, VP, Specialist Head of Photographs:The success ofthe deLIGHTed eye collection is demonstrative of the value of focused and

    passionate collecting. It shows the demand that exists within the global marketplace for prime examples of modernist photography. We are

    honored to have been able to offer this historic collection and were pleased to have set 10 world auction records, including those for Francis

    Bruguire, Georg Muche and Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mack. Additionally, Man Ray's Untitled Rayograph, 1922, achieved $1.2 million, against its

    estimate of $250,000 - $350,000, setting a new world auction record for a photograph by the artist.
