This artwork by Brett Weston achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in June 2010. In the Photographs from the Polaroid Collection auction, the work Dunes sold for USD 27,500.00 (€ 22,374.09) - well above the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Brett Weston - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 'Hand And Ear' (Ramiel Mcgehee), which sold at auction in April 2012 for USD 62,500.00 (€ 47,244.69).
