The work, from 1960, is estimated at $25,000-35,000.
 The photograph features Adams' signature in pencil along with his hand stamp |
Adams (1902-1984) was a major American photographer best known for his black and white landscapes of national parks, and Yosemite in particular.
A highly influential photographer, his work has been widely reproduced. He was a founding member of Group f/64, a collective of photographers influenced by nature and modernism, which included Imogen Cunningham and Edward Weston among its members.

An untitled 1997 photogram by Adam Fuss is valued at $25,000-30,000.
 Adam Fuss' photogram is printed on muslin and dates to 1997 |
Fuss is a contemporary photographer who largely works with analogue techniques to create his enigmatic images.
Photograms are made by placing objects directly onto photographic paper before exposing them to light, resulting in an image that varies in tone depending on the opacity of the exposed item.
Two self portraits by Andy Warhol dating to 1981, Self Portrait in a Platinum Wig, and Self Portrait in a Platinum Pageboy Wig, will sell as a single lot with an estimate of $20,000-30,000.
