The Shahmoon collection is a unique mix of objects from the East and West. While it includes a large selection of Chinese furniture, ceramics, paintings on silk and textiles, it also comprises European and American furniture, silver, paintings, bronzes and other works of art.    

Solomon E. Shahmoon emigrated to Shanghai from Baghdad in 1911, and he became a renowned property developer and financier during the peak of the early 20th century building boom in Shanghai and this city's development as the major commercial center in Asia.  Mr. Shahmoon established Messrs SE Shamoon (alternatively spelled Shahmoon), engaging in import/ export and other business ventures. His success was capped by the construction in 1927 of the eight-story Shahmoon Building dominating the Bund and sited above their Art Deco masterpiece, The Capitol Theater. The Shahmoon Building, designed by Hungarian immigrant and pre-eminent architect C.H. Gonda, rose majestically over the staid, traditional banking and insurance buildings on the Bund. Striking elegant apartments and sleek business offices occupied the upper floors above the Capitol Theater, the building also boasted steel reinforcement, heating and cooling, and the latest in film technology. The building remains in the heart of Shanghai's vibrant business and nightlife community, at the corner of Huqui (Museum) and Suzhou (Soochow) roads.

In 1928 Mr. Shahmoon made Paris his residence, visiting Shanghai periodically to invest in property. In 1938 he re-visited Baghdad where he met and married Hannah, and the couple settled in Paris where their first daughter was born. The Shahmoons collected art, objects, carpets and furniture, and at the end of 1939, left Paris ahead of the Nazis for New York, where they settled permanently, first in Manhattan and then in New Rochelle.  Much of their collection from both Shanghai and Paris was eventually reunited with them in New Rochelle, and where they raised their four daughters in their large, Spanish-style stucco home.

ABOUT THE AUCTION

The Center for Photographic Art (CPA) in Carmel, California, is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization and one of the oldest members’ photography galleries in the country. We occupy the historic gallery established as the Friends of Photography in 1967. For more than five decades, CPA has served as a valuable asset to its members, the community, and the greater world of the photographic arts.
This year CPA ventures into the online auction realm for the second time with its annual 8 x 10 Fundraising Exhibition. Previously an onsite raffle, the 8 x 10 show is our most anticipated fundraiser of the year. It raises vital funds in support of the innovative and thought-provoking programming, exhibitions, lectures, and classes that the photographic community has enjoyed and relied on for over fifty years.
This year we offer small works by more than 100 established and emerging photographers from California and beyond. This special show features contemporary works from rising stars in the photography world and local legends and international favorites as well! (All framed 8x10” and all bidding starts at $80…because 8x10=80!)
We would especially like to thank all the talented artists who have generously donated their photographs to our annual fundraiser. Their enthusiastic support creates important funding toward our many programs and helps make our nonprofit a vibrant community resource.

FUNDING SUPPORT

Your valued support is what makes our programming possible. As a non-profit organization, the Center for Photographic Art counts on our members, plus the generosity of collectors, educators, students, donors, and photographic artists of every level to keep us thriving. Please join us!
We have met the challenge of this past year by developing a fantastic online community of weekly presenters and enthusiastic and engaged audiences. We offer classes and lectures from a diverse group of photo historians, photojournalists, gallerists, publishers, teachers, and photographic artists working in a variety of media. In addition we have re-opened the gallery and are continuing to host exhibitions to support artists and educate the public.
