A top price for Roman Vishniac - as previously expected
The work 'The Vanished World' by Roman Vishniac was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2010. The price achieved of USD 28,125.00 (€ 20,242.55) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, 'The Vanished World' is the most expensive artwork by Roman Vishniac that we have observed at auctions so far.
