Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Prostitutes in a Bar, Boulevard Rochechouart, Montmartre by Brassaï was sold in the Photographs auction at Phillips in New York in October this year. The price achieved of USD 15,240.00 (€ 14,420.89) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Brassaï - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ciel Postiche (False Sky), which sold at auction in April 2001 for USD 44,650.00 (€ 50,315.53).
