ICONIC EINSTEIN ‘TONGUE’ PHOTO BRINGS IN $125,000 AT AUCTION
United Press International photographer Arthur Sasse took the picture on March 14, 1951, while covering Einstein’s 72nd birthday party given by his colleagues at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. Einstein had tired of smiling for photographers at the party, and when Sasse renewed the request, the scientist instead stuck out his tongue.
UPI editors initially hesitated to publish the irreverent photo, but when they did Einstein was so amused, he ordered nine prints to give to close friends.

The $125,000 selling price, which equaled the minimum bid level set by the Los Angeles auction house, reflected the value placed on a photo bearing Einstein’s signature. While the photo is generally shown cropped with only Einstein in the picture, the auctioned version represents the original, with Einstein seated between his hosts, Dr. Frank Aydelotte, head of the Institute for Advanced Study, and his wife.
The 7-by-10-inch photo was on the market in 2009, when it was sold at auction for $74,324.

Whenever our auction house obtains a jaw dropping item, the press posts a story about our auction house from newspapers such as The New York Times to stations such as the BBC, CNN or Fox News. Rene Descartes Discours de la methode 1st first edition at Nate’s might generate similar publicity. Herewith is a news article about our auction house originally from Reuters regarding auctioning the Ray Bradbury estate with many fine rare books.
Science Fiction Author Ray Bradbury’s Estate Auction Nets Nearly US $500,000
Late Science Fiction Author Ray Bradbury (Reuters)
Bradbury, who died in 2012, was perhaps best known for his dystopian classic, “Fahrenheit 451.,” the auctioneer said. In a career spanning more than 70 years, the Waukegan, Illinois, native also wrote “Dandelion Wine,” “I Sing the Body Electric” and “From the Dust Returned” as hundreds of short stories, poems, essays, operas, plays, teleplays and screenplays.
Among Bradbury’s possessions sold late on Thursday was an inscribed spade owned by Irish Playwright George Bernard Shaw and a meandering science-fiction-free unpublished poem about the garden tool, which sold together for $6,250, auctioneer Nate D. Sanders said.
Dean Ellis’ painting of a naked, tattoo-covered man sitting atop a tiny wooden platform under a bewitching crimson sky, used for the 1969 cover of short story collection “The Illustrated Man,” sold for $45,894, the auction house said.

A mounted silver Hugo Award, the top trophy for science fiction writing which Bradbury won in 2004, garnered $28,734, and Hal Foster’s Prince Valiant comic series fetched $21,175, it said.
