COLLECTION DE MONSIEUR D.M.
Lots 114 à 201
« Au soir de ma vie le temps est venu de me séparer des images qui forment une partie
de ma collection de photographies.
Trois motifs m’ont guidé dans cette entreprise commencée il y a une quarantaine d’années :
La photographie contrairement à ce qu’écrivait Baudelaire a toujours représenté pour moi
un art majeur ; le seul qui immortalise l’instant présent et par voie de conséquence nous
permet de reconstituer un monument, un personnage, un paysage, maintenant disparus.
Je souscris donc totalement à ce qu’écrivait Claude Simon, le prix Nobel de littérature,
à savoir que l’objet de la photographie est de fixer l’agonie du moment qui se désintègre
dans le passé.
Bien que d’origine parisienne toute ma vie d’adulte s’est déroulée à l’étranger passant
d’un pays à l’autre sur cinq continents. La plupart de ces images que j’ai collectionnées
s’inscrivent donc dans le souci de conserver un souvenir des pays dans lesquels j’ai vécu ou voyagé.
J’ai toujours voulu conserver une trace de tout ce que j’ai aimé ou que la curiosité
m’a amené à aimer ; on trouve donc dans cet ensemble la reproduction de types humains,
de monuments ou de paysages qui m’ont toujours impressionné ;
également des images de l’infiniment petit et de l’infiniment grand.
J’espère que ces images feront également le bonheur de ceux qui vont les acquérir même
si elles n’évoquent pas pour eux un souvenir précis. »

In the event of a dispute, the Auctioneer has the right to cancel the sale and put the disputed lot(s) back up for auction.
EXHIBITION VIEWING
A pre- auction viewing allows bidders to ascertain the condition of the sale items. Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which they are interested, before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request and remain subject to the personal appreciation of the prospective buyer. All lots are therefore sold in their condition at the moment of the sale. No claims will therefore be accepted after the hammer has fallen.
NECESSARY CONDITIONS TO BID
The order of the sale will be that of the catalogue. Attributions are based on scientific and artistic knowledge at the time of the sale. Sizes are given only for your information. If the purchaser fails to abide by the aforementioned obligations, the lot(s) concerned may be put back up for auction during the same session or during a subsequent session, at the purchaser’s own risk.
