Silent Auction Bids are to be made on the bid sheet corresponding to the particular print of interest. These bid sheets will be adjacent to the prints on the night of the Silent Auction. The Silent Auction sections will close in increments of 15 minutes beginning at 9:15 pm. At the conclusion of each section, volunteers will circle the winning bid and paddle number. Absentee Bids Collectors are invited to bid on live and silent artwork in the auction without being present the night of the auction.

Absentee bids will be accepted until 5 pm on Thursday, October 11. Absentee bids will be executed at the lowest possible price, subject to the reserve price and other bids. If two or more parties have entered matching bids, the earliest shall take preference. Buy It Now Option All work in the silent auction may be purchased outright at 125% of the list price. The Buy It Now option will still be available the night of the auction, but this option is only available if the last bid does not exceed the Buy It Now price. We request that all Buy it Now purchases remain on display until October 13. Paddle Raise For this year’s paddle raise, the PRC respectfully requests support for its popular Master Lecture Series. Through the Master Lecture Series, the PRC seeks to provide educational opportunities for emerging and established photographers, foster community interaction based around the art of photography, and promote regional and national photography luminaries. The PRC currently presents eight lectures per calendar year, and this series has included such esteemed photographers as Harold Edgerton, Susan Meiselas, Ansel Adams, Ed Kashi, Jim Dow, and Bruce Davidson, in addition to well-known critics, scholars, and curators. The Master Lecture Series is also a central component of our Institutional Membership program, which enables students from 22 area colleges and universities to attend these lectures for free. People who raise their paddles for this cause will be listed as Master Lecture Series Donors. Parking & Accessibility BU Lot F adjacent to the 808 Gallery will be open for parking during the auction.

Please note that statements and terms in this catalog are subject to provisions of the Conditions of Sale and that the Photographic Resource Center makes no warranties or representations with any lot. Authorship: The name in bold type indicates the photographer who, in our best judgment, is the author of the work (no unqualified statement regarding authorship is made or intended). If not of the collection of the artist, donor is indicated. Title: The title, either as given by the photographer or by which the image is generally known, appears in italics. Date: In this catalog, the date refers to the year the image was created, not necessarily when the piece was printed. In every instance, the PRC has used dates provided by the artists. If the print date is deemed important, it will appear as the second date (i.e. 1958/2001). Measurement: Given in inches, this generally refers to the image size. The PRC has used sizes provided by the artists. Edition: Indicates the number of prints made of the particular image and where this particular print falls within the series. For example, 3/15 indicates that the photograph is the 3rd print out of an edition of 15. AP stands for Artist’s Proof. Condition: In this catalog, the PRC has made no attempt to qualitatively describe the condition of the photographs and makes no guarantees regarding their condition. PRC 2012 Benefit Auction 3
