Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Rita, 2003 by Mona Kuhn was sold in the Photographs auction at Christies in New York in October 2018. The price achieved of USD 4,625.00 (€ 4,081.36) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mona Kuhn - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Merle, 2003, which sold at auction in March 2015 for USD 16,250.00 (€ 15,128.95).
