We begin the sale with a fantastic collection of fine art photography, featuring an incredible archive of Ernest A. Bachrach portraits of Katharine Hepburn. In addition, we are offering one of the most important collections of original camera negatives from the Golden Age of Hollywood to ever reach the auction block.
