Sasha Stone was a significant early figure in avant-garde photography, particularly known for his modernist cityscapes and portraiture. His work shares affinities with contemporaries such as László Moholy-Nagy and Man Ray, who similarly explored new formal and technical possibilities in early 20th-century photography.

This lot is from an extensive South Florida collection of noteworthy mid-century French design. The consignor traveled to Paris throughout the 1970s on behalf of Price Waterhouse. Attracted to the quality construction and uniqueness of the art and design he found there, he began acquiring the objects first as a hobby, then more studiously as he educated himself via catalogues raisonne and biographies of his favorite artists and designers.
