Sold at the upper estimate price
In December 2011 Christies in New York held the auction Photographs Including Crossing America: Photographs from The Consolidated Freightways Collection, Part II, which included the work New York, c. 1948 by Rudy Burckhardt. The auction ended at the price of USD 2,500.00 (€ 1,927.08), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,500.00. Admittedly, works by Rudy Burckhardt have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Flatiron Building, Summer, 1948 in February 2007 with an auction result of USD 10,200.00 (€ 7,709.75).
