Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Covered Car, Long Beach, California, 1955-1956 by Robert Frank was auctioned at Christies in New York in May this year. The price achieved of USD 23,940.00 (€ 22,470.43) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Frank achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Trolley - New Orleans, 1955 in April 2013 with an auction result of USD 663,750.00 (€ 504,062.88).
