This artwork by Jerry Uelsmann achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in February this year. In the Masters of PhotographyFrom Edward S. Curtis to Berenice Abbott auction, the work Untitled (Philosopher's Desk) sold for USD 5,355.00 (€ 5,050.93) - well above the upper estimate of USD 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jerry Uelsmann - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled (floating trees), which sold at auction in April last year for USD 17,640.00 (€ 16,741.01).

Curtis to Berenice Abbott wurde die Arbeit Untitled (Philosopher's Desk) für USD 5.355,00 (€ 5.050,93) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 3.000,00.
