Sandeng auktionerar till förmån för musikhjälpen ut:
Tavla (nr. 2/150, print storlek 55.9 x 67.4 cm), baserad på en SX-70 Time Zero Polaroid, tagen på Steidl Verlag i Tyskland i September 2005 under Lous arbete med sin bok Lou Reed's New York, signerad av fotografen Jonas Wettre och ramad på Sandeng i Göteborg, svävande montering och museum glas.
Lou Reeds signerade skiva The Shepherd of Brooklyn.
Once There Were Polaroids, boken som bl.a. innehåller historien om Lous besök på det tyska förlaget. Signerad av fotografen Jonas Wettre.

Under sin tid på Steidl Verlag arbetade Jonas Wettre med två av Lou Reeds böcker. Lou Reed's New York och Romanticism. Lou var minst sagt en man som levde legenden om sig själv. Jonas fotograferade mycket med direktframkallande film så som Polaroid, Fuji och The Impossible Project. Konstnärerna var ofta oförberedda och även lite förvånade över formatet, den lite sargade filmen som upplevt så många med och motgångar. Tanken var aldrig att ta väl arrangerade studio porträtt utan fotografier av objektet under arbete med sitt projekt, i detta fall Lous bok Lou Reed's New York. De med fotograferade är Gerhard Steidl, ägare och grundare av förlaget och Amy-Beth McNeely, Lous digitala assistent. I sin hand håller Lou en utskrift av sitt kommande omslag.

Sandeng är en komplett bildproduktion och ramverkstad som kan göra allt från professionella fine art prints till retusch, montering, inramning, rådgivning, inredningshjälp, utställningar, projektledning/event eller kanske bara se till att den där bilden som legat bortglömd i en byrålåda kommer upp på väggen.

PS. Vinylen är i begagnat skick, signerad på omslaget av Lou Reed. Boken är ny och endast urtagen ur plastfolien för att signeras. Fotografit med ram är helt nytt, framtaget för denna auktion tilldelad musikhjälpen.

21 enlarged Polaroids from my book "Once There Were Polaroids" are currently hanging at the exhibition "The Autumn Salon" at the Fotografiska museum in Stockholm. The show will go on until November 20.

Jonas Wettre, Once There Were Polaroids
Book launch, talk and party: 3 May, 5 pm, at the art book store Konst-ig, Åsögatan 124, Stockholm.

Once There Were Polaroids: a photo book based on Jonas Wettre’s personal encounters with the world’s most accomplished photographers during his ten years working at the legendary art and photo book publisher Steidl in Göttingen, Germany.

Wettre’s unconventional portraits of among others Robert Frank, Dayanita Singh, Keanu Reeves, Juergen Teller, Günter Grass, Boris Mikhailov, Lou Reed, Mikael Jansson, Ed Ruscha and Jeff Wall, give a unique insight into book production at “Steidlville” with Gerhard Steidl and Polaroid as their subject.

The evening’s conversation with Jonas Wettre (beginning at 5 pm) will be led by Clemens Poellinger, art critic at the Svenska Dagbladet newspaper. Also participating are Mikael Olsson (Södrakull Frösakull, Steidl, 2011) and Maria Miesenberger (Sverige/Schweden, Steidl, 2011).

Books can be signed during the event.

At 7 pm Wettre’s exhibition “Once There Were Polaroids” opens at ilcaffé at Södermannagatan 23, where photographs from the book will be on display.

I thought that the TZ Artistic was sold out completely, I heard/read that the warehouse was empty.
But now I see that it was only moved east...

Some people are lucky, others not... must have missed this garage sale. Incredible that stuff like this can happen.
