Photography Auctions
Lyon & Turnbull’s Photography auction specialists have extensive experience in dealing with a wide range of photographic genres, selling both through our Scottish auction house in Edinburgh, and online.
Each member of the department has a particular area of interest when it comes to photography, a personal passion that has driven successful results across the field from early daguerreotypes and 19th-century travel photography; to the works of modern art photography, fashion and pop culture.
The specialist team takes pride in cataloguing items with care and enjoys liaising with, and responding to, collectors, institutions and curators. They relish the interaction with owners and agents, whether seeking to buy or sell. Whenever possible the specialists try to meet the client to discuss options surrounding the auction of material that fits best with his or her wishes and the expectations of collectors and photography dealers worldwide.
We currently host several specialist auctions a year featuring photography. 19th and 20th-century travel, art and historical photography are included alongside Rare Books, Manuscripts & Maps, in February, May and September sales, while contemporary photography is included in our January, April and August Contemporary Art auctions.
All sale results shown are inclusive of buyer’s premium.
