The work Various Portraits, 1925-1932 by Doris Ulmann was sold in the Modern Visions: Exceptional Photographs auction at Christies in New York in February 2016. The »bidding war« ended at USD 20,000.00 (€ 18,402.65), 67% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Doris Ulmann; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Baptism sold at auction in April 2017 with the realized price of USD 40,000.00 (€ 36,714.09).
