Rare Polaroid Photo Collection in Limbo

According to the Star Tribune, a court-appointed receiver in the Tom Petters Ponzi scheme case may have the last say as to the fate of a Polaroid photography collection valued between $7 and $11 million. The photographs are of course one-of-a-kind, and signed, by artists such as Warhol, William Wegman, Ansel Adams and Dorothea Lange.

From the Star Tribune:

Though not widely known, Polaroid’s collection has some 16,000 photographs, including more than 600 works by nature photography legend Ansel Adams, 13 large self-portraits by pop artist Andy Warhol and photos by craftsmen such as Dorothea Lange, Olivia Parker, William Wegman, Rosamond Purcell and Dawoud Bey. Most of the collection resides in an office building in Somerville, Mass., just north of Boston. Thousands of pieces are currently on loan to the Musee de L’Elysee, according to court documents.
