Auction result well in line with expectations
The work 'Yes, Columbus Did Discover America!', San Francisco, 1938 by John Gutmann was sold in the The American Landscape, Black and White Photographs from The Collection of Bruce and Nancy Berman auction at Christies in New York in October 2011. The price achieved of USD 3,125.00 (€ 2,240.63) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Gutmann - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work First Drive-in Theatre, Los Angeles, 1935, which sold at auction in September 2006 for USD 8,400.00 (€ 6,620.95).
