The Thrill of the Chase: The Wagstaff Collection of Photographs at the J. Paul Getty Museum
September 10 – December 11, 2016

From 1973 to 1984, Samuel J. Wagstaff, Jr. (American, 1921-1987) assembled one of the most important private collections of photographs in the world. Wagstaff promoted photography as an art form by organizing exhibitions, delivering lectures, and publishing material on his collection. In 1984, a few years before his death from AIDS-related complications, Wagstaff sold his collection to the J. Paul Getty Museum. Numbering several thousand, the collection now forms a cornerstone of the Getty Museum’s holdings of photographs.
Wagstaff served as a curator of paintings and sculpture at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art (1961-1968) and curator of contemporary art at the Detroit Institute of Art (1969-1971)
.........Images (left to right): Jean Pierre Philippe Lampué (French, 1836 – 1924), Still life of sculpture and architectural fragments, 1868, Albumen silver print, Image: 34.3 x 22.2 cm (13 1/2 x 8 3/4 in.), The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, 84.XP.458.28; Gustave Le Gray (French, 1820 – 1884), The Beech Tree, about 1855 – 1857,


No deja de llamar la atención que se seleccione, para tan importante arquitecto como es Sauvestre, una obra en cierto modo menor lo que nos indica, aun así, su importancia pues la selección de obras de este álbum la realizaron arquitectos de la mencionada escuela.

Lampué participó en las exposicion de la Sociedad Francesa de fotografía entre los años 1876 y 1882. También participo en la Exposicion Universal de 1878.
Tuvo su estudio en la calle Saint Jacques 236 en París hasta 1879. Curiosamente el estudio llevaba el nombre de "Fotografía francesa y española"
El estudio se traslado a Boulevard Port Royal 72 Paris

Estos Álbumes eran considerados piezas de lujo encontrandose pocos de ellos en el mercado pues su tirada fue escasa y los ejemplares que quedan estan en las bibliotecas de arquitectura.
Fotografías de Lampué se pueden ver en la web Europeana 

  • Editores de álbumes de fotos de arquitectura en el siglo XIX

La edición de álbumes de fotografía de arquitectura estaba considerada de gran lujo y hay que distinguirla de la que se centraba en reproducir monumentos famosos. La primera estaba dirigida principalmente a arquitectos y a sus clientes mientras que la segunda se dirigía a todo tipo de público.
  • Sobre E. Ducher  editor de este álbum he encontrado los siguientes datos

 Ducher had a close relation with Cesar Daly, which sons, Andre Daly fils et Cie, published in 1886 "L'architecture americaine". This relation is explained in the following publications:
  • "L'architecture privée au XIXe siècle sous Napoléon III", by DALY, César. A. Morel et Cie., first editors. First Edition París 1864.
    • Ducher, editor. París 1870. Second edition.
  • "La semaine des constructeurs. Journal hebdomadaire illustré des travaux publics et privés." Quatrième année. Paris Ducher & cie, éditeurs. (1879-1880).
  • "Motifs Historiques D'Architecture Et De Sculpture D'Ornament Pour La Composition Et La Decoration Exterieure Des Edifices Publics Et Prives." by Daly, Cesar. Paris Ducher & Cie 1870
Librairie Ducher also published other albums that included original photos where we would highlight the following:
  • Felix Bonfils, the photographer that obtained a medal from the Societé Française de photographie for his work in Egypt, Palestine, Syria and Greece, published in 1872 and album with Ducher with 100 photographs of the Middle East.

Lampúe se hizo famoso por una fuerte controversia que mantuvo a través de la prensa con los pintores cubistas.

.. The subject of an interpellation in the Chambre des Députés. Following the lead of a municipal councillor and amateur photographer named Lampué, who had written an open letter to Monsieur Bérard, Under-Secretary in the Ministry of Fine Arts, in the Mercure de France:
 ....That access to all public building should be denied " to a gang of criminals who behave  in the art world like yobs and delinquents.

a Socialist deputy, Monsieur Jean Louis Breton, demanded that measures be taken to prevent the Cubists from exhibiting at the Salon d'Automne: 
....'Il est absolument inadmissible que nos palais nationaux puissent servir à des manifestations d'un caractère aussi nettement antiartistique et antinational.' .
The attack was answered by Marcel Sembat
 'Quand un tableau vous semble mauvais,' he declared, 'Vous avez un incontestable droit: celui de ne pas le regarder et d'aller en voir d'autres. Mais on n'appelle pas les gendarmes.'
Excelente contestación.

 Photographies de Lampúe. Sturgis collection

..........American architect Russell Sturgis (1836 –1909) was a leading figure in the development of architectural criticism at the turn of the 20th-century. During his formative years in New York, Sturgis gained an appreciation for architectural history and modern design. An advocate of the American Pre-Raphaelites, Sturgis sought much inspiration in the written works of English architect and critic John Ruskin. Upon his return to New York after extensive travel abroad, Sturgis opened his own architectural practice in 1863. In addition to his success as an architect, Sturgis authored countless articles and books on various architectural subjects.
After 1858, Sturgis earnestly began to collect choice photographs and drawings of various architectural gems. Sturgis' collection of photographs is particularly rich in both its collective thoroughness and diversity of images represented.................
