About the auction

Grisebach is delighted to be able to offer the collection of Rhinelander Stefan Thull and explore "the tie" in photography with you.

62 lots that introduce the world of the tie and its wearers and it becomes clear: a tie is an attitude, a cultural concept, still relevant and a symbol of power (and masculinity) – but in any case: more than just a small detail.

Inspired by Oscar Wilde´s saying "A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life", we would like to present to you this motif, collected with passion over decades, and its multifacetedness. From Paul Outerbridge to Andy Warhol, from Marianne Breslauer to Herlinde Koelbl – stay tuned!
