Reviewing the online edition of an Estates and Trusts publication (of all places, today at work) and came across the gross revenue resulting from a recent sale of photographs at Christie’s. Found two facts to be of note: (1) These photographs are valuable! (2) Christie’s is particularly good at estimating a potential sales price. The “training” of all of those who are “trained” at Christie’s must be steeped in the ability to identify value. Truly amazing institution and amazing photographs. Have a great weekend.
