Specialist note

Lots 389-391 come from Bouët's Olympic Games series, where Bouët shows how people do small scale versions of Olympic events every day, just by picking up luggage in Weight Lifting or removing tights in Gymnastics. Bouët began his photography career as an assistant fashion photographer. While he has appeared in numerous publications including Vogue, Vanity Fair and Harper's Bazaar he has also published photographic books and exhibited around the world.
