Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Bette Davis Eyes and Other Natural Phenomena: Photographs at No Reserve, which included the work Arthur Rothstein by Arthur Rothstein. The price achieved of USD 5,670.00 (€ 4,779.16) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Admittedly, works by Arthur Rothstein have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Farmer and sons walking in the face of a dust storm, Cimarron County, Oklahoma in April 2001 with an auction result of USD 23,500.00 (€ 26,481.86).
