LONDON.- An extensive archive of images by the British photographer, Harold Chapman, the single largest collection of Chapman material in private hands, is to be offered for sale at Bonhams by private treaty. The collection, a selection of which is on show at Bonhams, New Bond Street from now until 11 January 2011, comprises 108 photographs of Paris and the Beat Hotel taken between the late 1950s and early 1960s. The show will coincide with Bonhams’ Urban Art sale, which takes place on 11 January. Kent-born Chapman moved from London to Paris and into the infamous Beat Hotel in the mid 1950s. Located at 9 rue Gît-le-Coeurin the city’s Latin Quarter, the Beat Hotel was a magnet for artists, writers and poets. Chapman’s fellow lodgers included William Burroughs, Gregory Corso and Allen Ginsberg, who had recently fled obscenity trials in the US after the publication of his poem, Howl.
