LONDON.- A rare and beautiful example of a Nude Study by the pioneering Czech photographer, Frantisek Drtikol, celebrated for his daring and radical depiction of the female form, is to be sold at Bonhams, New Bond Street, as part of its Photographs sale on 16 November 2010. The study is an excellent example of the photographer’s later, more stylised compositions in which geometric decoration and shadow played a key part. It has attracted a pre-sale estimate of £25,000 – 30,000. Another top lot is a photograph by Nick Brandt, the director of Michael Jackson’s music video Earth Song, entitled Cheetah and Cubs, Masaai Mara, 2003. Estimated at £8,000 – 12,000, the picture is the result of Brandt falling in love with Tanzania while filming the music video for Michael Jackson’s Earth Song in 1995. Highlights also include a group of 13 pictures depicting post-war France by the French photographer Willy Ronis
