Contemporary Photographs held on 13th October 2008 at Christie’s New York venue totalled intakes for 1,020,250 dollars.  An interesting sale whose protagonists were the most emblazoned names of contemporary photography, such as David LaChapelle, Annie Leibovitz, Nan Goldin. Altogether 54 lots, almost all of them very important for their great aesthetic and artistic quality, executed by artists that have been appreciated for a long time in the economic-artistic system.
Among the highlights of the various pieces presented to the public in the saleroom were pictures by great artists who have marked the evolvement of international photography.  Among these we should mention for instance “Untitled (Snake Powder)” by Adam Fuss which, from a pre-sale estimate between 50 and 70 thousand dollars, sold for 50 thousand dollars or “Still Life (Candle)” by Louise Lawler, which from a valuation of 25-35 thousand dollars, sold for 50 thousand dollars.
