The photography of Carol Jerrems boasts Australia's highest-priced photo – in pictures

[ad_1]

Carol Jerrems was a Melbourne-based photographer who died in 1980, at just 30 years old. Last November her work rocked the art world when a print of Vale Street (1975) sold for $122,000 ($1,00,000 hammer price) at a Sotheby’s Australia (now operating as Smith & Singer) auction. In her short and intense career she focused on figurative compositions that were intensely personal and informative of a life lived in Melbourne in the 70s.

Smith & Singer is exhibiting 26 of the revered photographer’s works in the exhibition Carol Jerrems: Portrait of a Decade, at 14-16 Collins Street Melbourne, 27 February to 20 March 2020, and then 26 March to 17 April 2020 at 30 Queen Street Woollahra, Sydney.
