Auction of Photographs from the Estate of Dan Berley

Over 200 works from the Estate of Dan Berley will take center stage at Rago's upcoming auction of 19th and 20th century photographs. Dan Berley was a pioneer collector and a publisher of limited edition photography portfolios. He began collecting in the early 1960s, one of a few individuals who recognized photography as a serious art form at that time. He curated an extensive personal collection of 19th and 20th century photography before his death and co-published fine art photography portfolios with famed dealer Lee Witkin under the imprimatur Witkin-Berley, Ltd. Howard Greenberg was a close friend to Berley and was asked by the family to take charge of his collection after Berley died in January 2006.
