The work Vortograph, 1917 by Alvin Langdon Coburn was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2017. It achieved a price of USD 23,750.00 (€ 20,389.77), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 58%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alvin Langdon Coburn achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Vortograph in March 2014 with an auction result of USD 605,000.00 (€ 439,137.69).
