But buyers (and bargaining was fierce) immediately realized who the author and because the picture went for that kind of money that the auction was a complete surprise.
If the auction once estimated it to be $ 50-60000, its profit was exactly the same as in this case, when the estimate was $ 500, as withdrawal of 130 times. The auction has a percentage of the final sales price.
