Sold at the upper estimate price
The work Migratory Cotton Picker, Eloy, Arizona, 1940 by Dorothea Lange was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2017. The auction ended at the price of USD 200,000.00 (€ 171,703.30), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 100,000.00 – 200,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Dorothea Lange - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Migrant Mother, 1936, which sold at auction in February 2016 for USD 389,000.00 (€ 357,931.54).
