Now consigning for auction. Click here to submit items for online valuation or contact us to book an appointment in Sydney or Melbourne.

 

In May 2010 we successfully staged the first stand-alone photography auction in the country that included the estate of one of Australia’s most esteemed photographers, Wolfgang Sievers. The modestly estimated Sievers’ works were valued at $22,000 but realised an astonishing $192,000, setting numerous record prices for the artist.

More recently Leonard Joel was engaged to disperse The Dinesh Parekh Collection of International Photography, which realised $262,500.

Leonard Joel has seen an increased demand from both buyers and sellers of photography and now offers contemporary, modern and traditional Australian and International photographs on a quarterly basis in our Specialist Prints & Photography Auctions.
