Auction result well in line with expectations

In June 2020 Christies in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Lumière Lumitra, exact expiration date unknown, ca. 1960, processed in 2014 (#8) by Alison Rossiter. It changed hands for a price of USD 11,250.00 (€ 10,016.92) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alison Rossiter - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Eastman Kodak Elite, exact expiration date unknown, ca. 1980s, processed 2016 (#1), 2016, which sold at auction in April 2017 for USD 27,500.00 (€ 25,240.94).
