Auction result well in line with expectations
The work 'Better Than The Real Thing (Infra Series)' by Richard Mosse was sold in the Postwar and Contemporary Photographs auction at Sothebys in New York in September 2017. The price achieved of USD 22,500.00 (€ 19,046.81) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 18,000.00 – 25,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Richard Mosse - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nowhere to Run (Infra series), which sold at auction in May 2019 for GBP 37,500.00 (€ 42,447.75).
