Upper estimate price exceeded by 33 %.
The work Animal Locomotion, Plate 549, 1887 by Eadweard Muybridge was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2020. It achieved a price of USD 2,000.00 (€ 1,717.18), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 33%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Eadweard Muybridge achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Selected plates from Animal Locomotion, 1871-1885 in April 2007 with an auction result of USD 114,000.00 (€ 83,455.34).
