On occasion, Christie's has a direct financial interest in the outcome of the sale of certain lots consigned for sale. This will usually be where it has guaranteed to the Seller that whatever the outcome of the auction, the Seller will receive a minimum sale price for the work. This is known as a minimum price guarantee. This is such a lot.
Note du spécialiste
"The subtly mottled gray-and-white surface tones of these prints mirror the fine grains of sand on the beach, which have softly shifted to accommodate the countless impressions of feet that are captured in the photograph [...] It is the trace of previous inhabitants that injects meaning into [the] picture, however open-ended that meaning might be" (N. Spector,
Felix Gonzalez-Torres, exh. cat., Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, 1995, p. 117.)
