Chris Mahoney,Senior Specialist, Sotheby’s Photographs Department ha dichiarato: “The wide range of photographers represented in our top-ten list says it all. To have great modernist works by Man Ray and Jaromír Funke selling at new levels alongside great 19th-century American photographers such as Mathew Brady and Timothy O’Sullivan, and contemporary artists such as Peter Beard, shows the wonderful breadth of today’s photographs market. Our total of $5.6 million, well over our high estimate of $4.3 million, shows the strength and resilience of the market for important photographs.”
