This artwork by Lewis Wickes Hine achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in July 2018. In the MoMA: Tracing Photography's History auction, the work Italian Immigrant from Albania, Ellis Island, 1905 sold for USD 8,750.00 (€ 7,474.80) - well above the upper estimate of USD 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lewis Wickes Hine achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Mechanic And Steam Pump, 1921 in April 2021 with an auction result of USD 275,000.00 (€ 228,595.18).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Lewis Wickes Hine erzielte im Juli 2018 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion MoMA: Tracing Photography's History wurde die Arbeit Italian Immigrant from Albania, Ellis Island, 1905 für USD 8.750,00 (€ 7.474,80) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lewis Wickes Hine erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Mechanic And Steam Pump, 1921 im April 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 275.000,00 (€ 228.595,18).
