Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Albert Schweitzer, Aspen, Colorado by W. Eugene Smith was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in July 2020. The price achieved of USD 6,875.00 (€ 5,839.14) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 6,000.00 – 9,000.00. Admittedly, works by W.
