Description
THE CASE OF THE "lost" Ansel Adams negatives that purportedly are worth $200 million has turned into a public argument between Rick Norsigian, who found them at a garage sale 10 years ago, and the photographer's family and former associates and leading art-photography dealers, who deny that Adams took them. The brouhaha might have been avoided had Norsigian, a painter for the Fresno, Calif., school district, taken the advice of Adams biographer Jonathan Spaulding. Norsigian had brought the negatives to Spaulding's office at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County; Spaulding suggested that he send them to a museum or public archive where professionals could make a thorough study. Instead, Norsigian went on trying to authenticate the pictures on his own. Eventually he assembled a team of paid experts - virtual unknowns in the photography world. The report and appraisal Norsigian issued last month made headlines because it concluded not only that the 65 glass-plate negatives had been taken by Adams in the 1920s and early 1930s but also that they were worth at least $200 million.
