Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work City Hall - Reno, Nevada, 1956 by Robert Frank was sold in the Important Photographs From a Private American Collection auction at Christies in New York in October 2007. It achieved a price of USD 58,600.00 (€ 40,503.18), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 17%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Frank achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Trolley - New Orleans, 1955 in April 2013 with an auction result of USD 663,750.00 (€ 504,062.88).
