The work 'Betta Splendens, New York City' by Hiro was sold in the Contemporary Photographs auction at Sothebys in New York in October 2018. It achieved a price of USD 20,000.00 (€ 17,649.14), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 67%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hiro - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 'Apollo - 11, 9:32 A. M. 7-16-69 Maiden Voyage To The Moon', which sold at auction in April last year for USD 63,000.00 (€ 59,789.31).
