A member of the prestigious Magnum Photos agency, he has made a career as a freelance photographer working for a number of popular magazines such as LIFE and Esquire and creating such distinguished bodies of work as Brooklyn Gang (1959), Time of Change (1961-1965), and East 100th Street (1966) . Davidson's photographs have always received critical acclaim; he was given two solo shows at MoMA, New York in 1963 and 1972 and was also the first recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts photography grant.

This 57-lot sale of some of his finest photographs, offered with no reserve, is to benefit the Joshua Tree Highlands Artist Residency (JTHAR), a nonprofit organization that supports an international community of artists within the remarkable landscape of Joshua Tree National Park. "It's a profound honor to offer works by Bruce Davidson in support of such a vital and visionary program," says Laura Paterson, Heritage's Director of Consignment for Photographs.

Bidding Notes
Web Tips How to use HA.com Website Bidding Tutorial
New: Financing Now Available Heritage now offers extended payment plan options up to 6 months to qualified, pre-approved clients on select items. See more details here.
Bid Protection Bid Protection allows you to ensure you are not outbid by automatically increasing your bid to the next full increment if you are outbid during the live event. This protects you from being "sniped" by a single increment. Bid Protection can be entered on all items except the current lot and the next upcoming lot in a Live Auction. Note: The extra increment won't be placed until the item is up for live bidding, so it is possible that you could be outbid by a bid placed prior to live bidding, such as another proxy bid, live proxy bid, mail bid, etc., which could result in your losing the lot by that one increment. For the same reason, it is also possible that a currently losing bid with bid protection placed could potentially win the lot once the lot is subject to live bidding and the Bid Protection increment(s) is placed.
Buyer's premium A Buyer's Premium is charged in addition to the successful bid. The applicable Buyer's Premium for bids placed with Heritage for this Auctions is 25% of the successful bid (minimum $49) per lot..
Heritage Live! allows you to place late proxy bids and compete live against the auction floor from your PC or mobile device*. We recommend placing proxy bids before the live session in the unlikely event either side experiences technical problems during the auction. Note: Proxy bidding ends ten minutes prior to the session start time. Live Proxy bidding on Heritage Live now starts within 2 hours of when the auction opens for proxy bidding and continues through the live session.
