Seller's Description:
Danielle, Tamara & Antone, 1995, 2/40. (B0006). Gelatin Silver.

Jock Sturges is known for his classical nude photographs of the children of his friends taken in naturist communities in France and Northern California. Sturges uses an extremely large, 8-by-10, and tripod-mounted camera which makes it impossible to hide or move, and requires the subjects to pose. The clarity of Sturges' prints is also due to the large negaitves of this type of camera. Many of Sturges' subjects have, over the years, become so familiar with his process that they are now even able to act as his assistants. All of this is because Sturges subjects are the children of friends or relatives and he has been able to document the changes in his subjects as they mature.

Art Market Data

Jock Sturges Price Development
  • More About this Chart
    • The chart shows the annual average premium prices of lots sold by the artist, which are calculated by dividing the total sales volume of the premium prices of all lots sold by the number of lots sold. For 2009, the data included in the calculations is current through the 15th of June. The charts will be updated every three months.

      The data is culled from the artnet Price Database, which has collected auction sales results for over twenty years.

      Prices are stated in USD in order to facilitate comparison and analysis of the market reports. When sales took place in another currency, the conversion of that amount into USD was done on the basis of the average conversion rate applicable on the day of the sale.

      Although most auction houses these days report transactions in prices that include a buyer’s premium, some auction houses report only the hammer price. Based on an analysis of historical auction catalogs, we apply a formula to all records with hammer prices to estimate the effect of a buyer’s premium. All prices used in the charts are either reported in or equated to hammer price plus buyer’s premium.
