Christie’s is auctioning Photographs from the Richard Gere Collection, in an online sale of images from the actor’s collection that runs from 23 March till 7 April 2022. Warning: this page is likely to be unsuitable for viewing at work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sale offers 156 lots<\/strong> and includes works spanning the entire history of the medium.<\/p>\n

It includes the work of 19th century masters such as Gustave Le Gray and Carleton Watkins<\/strong>, alongside recognised early 20th century photographers such as Edward Weston, Tina Modotti and Alfred Stieglitz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The sale also includes the work of notable contemporary icons such as Richard Avedon, Diane Arbus, Irving Penn, Sally Mann, Robert Mapplethorpe and Herb Ritts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Many of the works were acquired directly from the artists, many of whom Mr. Gere counted among his close friends, most notably the late Herb Ritts (1952-2002).<\/p>\n

The sale carries a low estimate of nearly $2million<\/strong> (US).<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"Edward\t\t\t

Edward Weston (1886-1958), Nude on Sand, Oceano, 1936. Gelatin silver print, mounted on board, printed 1940s. Image\/sheet\/mount: 14×15\u00bdin. Estimate: $70,000-100,000. Offered in Photographs from the Richard Gere Collection on 23 March-7 April 2022 at Christie’s Online<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Images with soul & humanity<\/h3>\n

Richard Gere explained<\/strong>, \u2018These photographs arrived in my life because I felt something for them. They have real soul, a humanity, a generosity \u2013 it doesn’t matter what the technique is. You know, you listen to an early recording of a great opera singer from 1902, when they just started recording \u2013 it\u2019s scratchy, it’s trebly. But the quality of that voice, the soul of the voice, it still hits you hard in your heart. Most of the photographers here are not that interested in technique. And the ones that are interested in technique were coming from a deep, personal place, with a point of view, and understanding of the universe.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

Darius Himes, Christie\u2019s international head of photographs, remarked<\/strong>, \u2018We are thrilled to handle such stunning works by one of the great film actors of the 20th century. Honed by years both in front of and behind a camera, Gere\u2019s passion for image-making and collecting is on full view in this wonderfully diverse collection. In the late 1970s his interest in photography was strengthened through his friendship with the late fashion photographer Herb Ritts, who inspired him to dive deeper into the history of photography. Since then, he has collected across genres and time. On display are highlights from the collection signifying a reflection of his time spent in New York and Los Angeles, his admiration of 19th and 20th century photographers and the friendships he made along the way.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"Herb\t\t\t

Herb Ritts (1952-2002), Djimon with Octopus, 1989. Gelatin silver print on linen, mounted on board. Image: 28×23\u00bc in. Estimate: $25,000-35,000. Offered in Photographs from the Richard Gere Collection on 23 March-7 April 2022 at Christie’s Online<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Auction highlights<\/h3>\n

Among the many highlights in the sale are emotionally charged works by Diane Arbus, Ralph Eugene Meatyard and Sally Mann. These works resonate with theatrics and drama – the images are challenging while maintaining a sense of delight.<\/p>\n

According to Gere, \u2018Being an actor, my basic tool is emotions. So I think most of the pictures that I respond to have the suggestion of a story or a flicker of the mystery.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

Whilst Richard Gere is best known for his leading roles in romantic film dramas and comedies such as An Officer and a Gentleman<\/em>\u00a0(1982) and\u00a0Pretty Woman<\/em> (1990), he has been interested in photography for many decades…<\/p>\n

Childhood interest<\/h3>\n

Now aged 72, Gere has had an avid interest in photography since childhood.<\/p>\n

His passion for photography was sparked by a gift from his mother of a Kodak Brownie camera<\/strong> when he was a boy scout.<\/p>\n

Gere recalled, \u2018I remember taking pictures with that. I’m sure the quality was dodgy, but I remember starting to understand composition.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

Christie\u2019s Darius Himes has praised Gere’s collection for having \u2018a level of aesthetic attunement and sophistication that you rarely see.’ <\/em><\/p>\n

Yet Gere hesitates to call himself a collector, explaining simply, \u2018These are images that spoke to me.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

Gere’s interest in photography developed further in the mid-1970s when he made the transition from acting onstage to acting in films.<\/p>\n

He saw first-hand the way a narrative could be built by using multiple camera angles \u2018each one of them telling a different story.’<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"Richard\t\t\t

Friendship with Herb Ritts<\/h3>\n

Gere admits that during his early acting days living in New York and Los Angeles, he would often spend time in all-night bookshops browsing volumes about legendary photographers such as Irving Penn and Edward Curtis.<\/p>\n

It was during this time that Gere became friends with the fashion photographer the late Herb Ritts, whose dramatic black-and-white pictures became some of the best-known images of the young actor.<\/p>\n

Gere revealed, \u2018I knew him before he was a photographer. He was just kind of in the gang\u2026 and he’d take pictures of us.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

After meeting the more established Bruce Weber, Herb Ritts soon became a leading name in the fashion photography scene, and was Gere\u2019s ‘go-to’ photographer.<\/p>\n

Gere revealed, ‘He was the only one I wanted to work with\u2026 So probably 80 or 90% of the shots of me that ended up in magazines were by him.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

He also spent a lot of time with Ritts at shoots where he wasn\u2019t the subject. He recalls his friend\u2019s easy manner with models and how he \u2018cared deeply\u2019 about every image.<\/p>\n

The actor further expanded his taste by visiting exhibitions wherever he travelled for work, and by going to auctions with Ritts.<\/p>\n

\u2018It wasn’t necessarily to buy,\u2019<\/em> explained Gere, \u2018it was like going to a museum. It was about seeing beautiful stuff.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

This became part of what Gere terms \u2018an evolutionary process of training your eye and your own sensibilities\u2019<\/em>, which stood him in good stead when he began buying photographs seriously.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"Diane\t\t\t

Diane Arbus (1923-1971), 42nd street Movie theater audience, N.Y.C., 1958. Gelatin silver print, flush mounted on board. Image\/sheet\/flush mount: 6\u00bdx9\u215e in. Estimate: $25,000-35,000. Offered in Photographs from the Richard Gere Collection on 23 March-7 April 2022 at Christie’s Online<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Captivated by Diane Arbus<\/h3>\n

From the beginning he was captivated by the work of Diane Arbus, whose pictures of residents of a home for the developmentally disabled both disturbed and delighted him.<\/p>\n

The Christie’s auction features several early works from Arbus\u2019s career, including a haunting image taken in a Manhattan cinema, with the beam of the projector frozen like a ray of sunlight in a cathedral.<\/p>\n

In fact, Gere was introduced to Arbus\u2019s work by Elizabeth Avedon, the daughter-in-law of the late US photographer Richard Avedon, whose two portraits of Bob Dylan appear in the sale.<\/p>\n

Gere played Billy the Kid in Todd Haynes\u2019s 2007 film\u00a0I\u2019m Not There<\/em>, in which six actors portray real or fictional characters who inspired Dylan\u2019s songs or represent pivotal moments in his career.<\/p>\n

He describes Avedon\u2019s\u00a0Bob Dylan, Folk Singer, New York City<\/em> (1965) as \u2018one of my favourite photographs ever taken.’<\/em><\/p>\n

He also acquired several pictures by Irving Penn, choosing classic images from the photographers\u2019 travels such as Bena Family, New Guinea\u00a0<\/em>(1970). This posed portable-studio portrait of five indigenous people from the Pacific island is in stark contrast to Penn’s better-known Vogue<\/em>\u00a0fashion shoots.<\/p>\n

\u2018He was very influenced by 19th-century photography,\u2019<\/em> explained Gere, who has long admired the US photographer\u2019s dedication to the formal qualities of his work, from the \u2018soft north-face light\u2019<\/em> he favoured to the complex printing processes behind every shot.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"Richard\t\t\t

Richard Avedon (1923-2004), Bob Dylan, Folk Singer, New York City, 1963. Gelatin silver print, printed 1967. Image\/sheet: 19\u215ex16in. Estimate: $60,000-80,000. Offered in Photographs from the Richard Gere Collection on 23 March-7 April 2022 at Christie’s Online<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Early photography<\/h3>\n

Gere\u2019s collection also includes examples of early photography, including pictures by Edward S. Curtis (1868-1952) and Gustave Le Gray (1820-84).<\/p>\n

Notably it includes Le Gray\u2019s famous image\u00a0\u00c9tudes de nuages clair-obscur\u00a0<\/em>(1856-57), a serene vision of clouds over a calm sea, which belies its technical complexity.<\/p>\n

Measuring 16×20 inches, the image was compiled from two negatives.<\/p>\n

Gere explained, \u2018The light metering is very different, top and bottom, so he took two shots, sometimes more than that. He used the horizon line as the division,\u2019<\/em> marrying the two negatives in the darkroom.<\/p>\n

Le Gray\u2019s composite study is actually a rare landscape within Gere\u2019s collection, which mainly features images of people and glimpses of everyday life.<\/p>\n

Gere revealed, \u2018Being an actor my basic tool is emotions \u2014 storytelling. I think most of the pictures I respond to have a story.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t
