The Houston Center for Photography’s annual auction is one of the highlights of the season for art lovers. It’s easy to see why since the works up for sale include photos by some of the world’s leading talents, contemporary and historical. During today’s Tour of the Preview Exhibition, Anne Tucker, the Gus and Lyndall Wortham Curator of Photography at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and Clint Willour, curator of the Galveston Art Center, offer background information about the photographers and the images’ place in history.
