Description

On June 21 and June 22 Sotheby's in New York is auctioning off one
thousand photographs that were once owned by Polaroid, which filed
for bankruptcy in 2009. The photographs were originally part of a
collection established by Ansel Adams called The "Artist Support
Program". Proceeds from the auction will go toward paying off
creditors. The auction has stirred up some controversy in the art
world and has also posed minor challenges for the new owners of
Polaroid, Hilco Consumer Capital LP and Gordon Brothers Brands LLC
who are trying to rebuild the brand. For more see the video below
