RE: $2.6 million gum print?

My mistake. I said that the 2nd and 3rd highest price prints were gelatin
silver. They were both palladium prints according to the catalog. I checked
to see what the highest price gelatin silver was at the auction:

MARGARET BOURKE-WHITE
1904-1971
'GARGOYLE, CHRYSLER BUILDING, NEW YORK'

100,000-150,000 USD
Lot Sold. Hammer Price with Buyer's Premium: 352,000 USD

It was the 7th highest price piece in the auction. The top six were all
pt/pd/gum/carbon.

Subject: $2.6 million gum print?

Does anyone know whether the Steichen print sold for $2.6 million at
Sotheby's was a gum, a gum over pt, or? The news said nothing.

If a gum, the next question is: would it have been sold for as much if
it were a gelatin/silver print?
