This artwork by Duane Michals achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in October 2013. In the Photographs auction, the work 'The Most Beautiful Part Of A Man'S Body' sold for USD 20,000.00 (€ 14,712.37) - well above the upper estimate of USD 10,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Duane Michals - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 'Portrait Of Andy Warhol', which sold at auction in April 2015 for USD 35,000.00 (€ 31,356.39).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 100 % übertroffen
