Photographs by Tim Ray Fisher Come to Auction With Artelisted

Tim Ray Fisher is an American folk artist famous for his nude male photographs, geometric artworks, and assemblages. Fisher’s vibrant pictures kindle beauty, fantasy, and somber reflection. According to Fisher, they also represent the trauma experienced in his childhood and early adult life. The upcoming Artelisted auction presents several photographs by Tim Ray Fisher. Among the highlights is a black and white nude artistic photo. The available Epson professional paper print explores the effects of Fisher’s abusive childhood. Also showcased are multiple artistic digital photographs featuring forest scenes and assemblages. 

Several stereoview antique photographs are on offer as well. In the 19^th century, stereoscopes produced three-dimensional images that soon became famous entertainment mediums. Many stereographs depicted railroad construction, farming, and mining activities. One offered photograph depicts a group of farmworkers tending the long rows of a field.
A ferrotype portrait photograph of a soldier from the American Civil War period is another notable offering. The ferrotype photography process involved coating underexposed negatives in a photographic emulsion. This underexposing process soon became popular as photographers could develop images within minutes. The upcoming Extravaganza auction also features NSS insert posters, a limited-edition copy of The Lyrics of François Villon, and postcards. Interested collectors can explore the entire catalog and register to bid online on Artelisted.
