Est: €5,000 - €6,000
JEWGENI CHALDEJ (1917–1997) | Raising the flag on the Reichstag building, Berlin 1945 (2 versions) Image Size: 27,7 x 37,7 cm English: 26 x 37,9 cm / 27,7 x 37,7 cm Two Gelatin silver prints, both printed by the photographer in 1995 on double-weight semi-matte paper 27,8 x 39,2 cm / 29,9 x 39,7 cm, both in excellent condition. Annotated "Berlin 2 May 1945" in Cyrillic / Date of print "1995", both prints signed by the photographer, in felttip-pen / in pencil on the reverse. PROVENANCE From the collection of Hans-Jürgen Burkard, Hamburg. A few days after the storming of Berlin, the Soviet front reporter Khaldei and some soldiers staged this scene at the burning Reichstag building, which became a symbolic image for the end of the Second World War, often in a modified form: for example, in order to achieve a more dramatic effect, clouds of smoke were added to the picture by means of sandwich exposure with a shot taken in Russia. Furthermore, the second wristwatch of the soldier supporting the man at the flagpole was retouched (in order not to have in the picture what the invading Russians captured). The print exposed from the original negative thus shows a clear area of sky and both watches, the second print offered here the most common variant with added clouds of smoke and the watch retouched away. Deutsch: Zwei Silbergelatineabzüge, beide geprintet 1995 vom Fotografen auf halbmattem "double-weight" Papier 27,8 x 39,2 cm / 29,9 x 39,7 cm, beide in ausgezeichnetem Zustand. Beide rückseitig vom Fotografen mit Filzstift / mit Bleistift signiert und beschriftet "Berlin 2 May 1945" in Kyrillisch / Vermerk des Printdatums "1995". PROVENIENZ Aus der Sammlung von Hans-Jürgen Burkard, Hamburg. Einige Tage nach der Erstürmung Berlins inszenierte der sowjetische Frontberichterstatter Chaldej mit einigen Soldaten eine Szene am brennenden Reichstagsgebäude, die zum Symbolbild für das Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde, und zwar häufig in einer veränderten Form: um eine dramatischere Wirkung zu erzielen, wurden beispielsweise mittels Sandwich-Belichtung mit einer in Russland entstandenen Aufnahme Rauchwolken ins Bild gesetzt. Weiters wurde die zweite Armbanduhr jenes Soldaten, der den Mann an der Fahnenstange stützt wegretuschiert (um nicht im Bild zu haben, was die einmarschierenden Russen erbeuteten). Der vom Originalnegativ belichtete Abzug zeigt somit einen freien Himmelsbereich und beide Uhren, der zweite hier angebotene Abzug die verbreitetste Variante mit hinzugefügten Rauchwolken und wegretuschierter Uhr.

Est: €800 - €1,000
Signed in pencil on the verso. "Our fighter planes were made of wood. That's why we breathed a sigh of relief when the English came with their twenty 'Hurricans'. This reindeer lived wildly. We called it Yascha. Then, when they were shooting, it kept coming to our battery, to the people. The soldiers built a small stable and fed it well. When the air-raid alarm was given, they would hit a railway track with a hammer -- din, din, din. Jascha heard this and came running. I was asked if this was a photomontage. For me it's a 'combination' to enhance the expression." (Jewgeni Chaldej, in: Volland/Krimmer, op.cit., p. 48)

Signed by the photographer in pencil on the verso. - - An interesting document, which Chaldej himself commented on: "Early in the morning on May 2, 1945, I entered it (the Reichstag). I was surrounded by horrendous noise, Russians and Germans were all shouting in horrible confusion ... A pleasant young soldier came up to me. I had a red flag in my hand. He said, 'Lieutenant, davai, let's hurry up and climb onto the roof with the flag' ... We started out, but all the stairs were badly damaged. When we finally got up the Reichstag was on fire. ...We found a long pole. I spent lots of time trying out different compositions. I took one picture from the left, but that wasn't any good. I wanted Berlin to be clearly visible in the picture. Then I said, 'Boys, go and stand over there and raise the flag ... then try over there'. There were three of them. One was from the Ukraine, the other from Machatshkala in Dagestan and the third was a Russian. ... I shot a whole roll of film, 36 shots." (cited in Volland/Krimmer, p. 151). – Some handling creases, indentation from signature from verso showing through to recto, otherwise in good condition. – With: An original copy of the magazine Ogoniok No. 19, May 13, 1945 in which the photo is illustrated on the front page.
