This artwork by Thomas Joshua Cooper achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in April 2006. In the Photographs auction, the work Border Crossings: The Polar Circle At The River Tornea, Sweden And Finland - The Summer Solstice, Midsummer'S Night - Midnight, 1997 sold for USD 4,800.00 (€ 3,802.28) - well above the upper estimate of USD 2,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Joshua Cooper - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Unexpected Nightfall- The Mid North Atlantic Ocean, Porto Moniz, The Island of Madeira (Near the North-most point of the Island), Portugal, which sold at auction in June 2008 for GBP 8,125.00 (€ 10,270.27).
