Gum at Christies New York



Anyone feeling rich?

http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lfsearch/LotDescription.aspx?intObjectID=4893308

7,000 - 9,000 U.S. dollars
Lot Description ROBERT DEMACHY (1859-1936)
Symbolist Study of Sleeping Woman in Woods, 1905
gum bichromate print
6 3/8 x 9in. (16.2 x 22.9cm.)

Looks rather gloomy, even murky in repro, to me, but I'm not a great Demachy fan. There are many great images in the auction, and this certainly wouldn't be my pick even if I had the cash to spare. There are a some platinum prints going too, but this was the only gum I noticed.

Regards,
