Leica results from the 27th WestLicht Camera Auction
Here are some of the Leica results from the 27th WestLicht Camera Auction that took place on June 13, 2015:
One of the first Leica cameras produced in series was the Leica I Mod. A with an Elmax lens sold for €20,400/$23,000. This collector’s item, in its original state, is exactly 90 years old.
The top lot is a prototype of the famous New York Leica rifle sold for €288,000/$326,000 – doubtlessly one of the most rare and unusual treasures in the history of photography.
A milestone of Leica history is the Leica M3 Prototype sold for €192,000/$217,000. In 1953 Leica built some pre-series cameras for the new M series, but only very few have survived.
The rarity of rarities is the black paint Leica MP-99 from 1957 in mint condition with matching black paint Summicron lens sold for €264,000/$300,000. A total of 412 Leica MP cameras were produced, only 141 of which were made in black paint finish. Many of the famous Magnum photographers worked with MP cameras. Today, it is among the most sought-after Leicas anywhere.
This is followed by a number of rare Leica special editions, including the M-P Set ‘Correspondent’ by Lenny Kravitz Number 1 sold for €26,400/$30,000. The combination of a black paint Leica M-P with two lenses was designed together with the musician in the style of the legendary reportage cameras and is limited to 125 sets. Set Number 1 will be auctioned with a photograph showing Lenny Kravitz with the camera and dedicated to the buyer.
The Leica M and M-E featuring the “Children’s Laughter” Design have been donated by the Leica Company. The Munich-based artist Helmut Lutter designed these cameras, based on sketches by school children. The colorful, one-of-a-kind cameras are now being auctioned for a good cause: all proceeds will be donated to the organization Kinderlachen e.V. The final price was €28,800/$32,600 each.
Another highlight is the olive-green Leica M4, produced for the German Army in 1970, one of only 30 cameras produced got sold for €78,000/$88,000.
The complete results from the auction can be found here.

Oskar Barnack Award 2015 winners announced
Oskar Barnack Award 2015 winner
JH Engström is honoured with the Leica Oskar Barnack Award 2015 with his project titled „Tout Va Bien” and will receive a cash prize of 25,000 euros and a Leica M camera and lens.
„Tout Va Bien“ does not handle a concrete subject in the traditional sense. The Swedish photographer JH Engström intends his project to be seen much more as visual poetry – a photographic narrative with strong autobiographical elements. Despite this, it does not exclusively depict aspects of his own life. „Tout Va Bien“ is a sequence of widely differing images. The winning series includes both portraits and landscapes, as well as bizarre snapshots like the photograph of the birth of his twins. The photographer also switches between exposures in black and white and colour. Engström plays with contrasts and leaves it to viewers to find their own ways of reading and interpreting each picture.
JH Engström, born in 1969 in Karlstad, Sweden, spent the early part of his career as a photographer between Sweden and France. After working as an assistant to Mario Testino and Anders Petersen, he studied film and photography at the University of Gothenburg and graduated in 1997. Engström has already published a number of different books of photography – these include „Trying to Dance“ (2003), Haunts (2006), „CDG/JHE“ (2008), „From Back Home“ (with Anders Petersen, 2009), „La Résidence“ (2010) and „Sketch of Paris“ (Aperture, 2013) – and has won numerous international awards. The complete project „Tout Va Bien“ comprises 90 images and will be published in book form by Aperture in July.
Oskar Barnack Award 2015 newcomer winner
The Leica Oskar Barnack Newcomer Award, first presented in 2009, has been won by Wiktoria Wojciechowska for her series „Short Flashes“. She receives a prize of 5,000 euros and a Leica M camera and lens.
In her winning series, the Polish photographer Wiktoria Wojciechowska focuses on fleeting moments of everyday life in China. Over a period of several months, she portrayed Chinese cyclists pedalling their damp ways through the incessant rain of the sprawling megacities of Beijing and Hangzhou. The project was shot as the streets were almost flooded in the typhoon season of 2013 and 2014. Alone, and without speaking a word of Chinese, the young photographer explored this new terrain without any means of communicating with the people around her. She identified with and felt the anonymity of the nameless cyclists and scooter riders who whizzed past her on the streets. This was the source of her idea for giving these people an identity – picking them out from the masses – and preserving them in captured instants. Her snapshot-like images tell the truth of genuine moments. Because, in contrast to posed and tightly controlled portraits, these spontaneous and unnoticed exposures show the reality and authenticity that exists between ingrained behavioural patterns.
Wiktoria Wojciechowska was born in 1991 in Lublin, Poland, and is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. Her work has already been shown in various exhibitions and at festivals and has been published in magazines such as „ArchivoZine“, „Beijinger“, „ArtPhotoMag“, „Gente di Fotografia“, „GUP“, „L’Oeil de la Photographie“ and „Urbanautica“.
