Auction result misses estimated price range
In July 2018 a collector was able to acquire the work Blind Beggar, 1888 by Jacob Riis for USD 750.00 (€ 640.70). This price was achieved in the auction MoMA: Tracing Photography's History at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00 set by the auction house. Other works by Jacob Riis have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in July 2018 by the work Home of an Italian Rag-Picker, Jersey Street, 1894 at USD 1,000.00 (€ 854.26).
