Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2007 Christies in New York held the auction Jean Prouvé's Prototype Maison Tropicale and Works by Jean Prouvé,Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret from the Collection of Eric Touchaleaume, which included the work Two Gelatin Silver Prints, Cité Radieuse, Marseille, Circa 1955 by Lucien Hervé. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 4,200.00 (€ 3,106.51) could thus just exceed the lower estimate.
