The price of the picture taken 98 years ago is expected to rise to as much as $ 7 million at auction.
Surrealist artist Man Rayn about the book Le Violon d’Ingres will be the most expensive auction-sold photo ever.
The original print of the 1924 photograph is sold to CNN the news according to Christie’s art auction in May, and the price is estimated to rise between $ 5 million and $ 7 million, or $ 4.4 million to $ 6.2 million.
Until now, the photo sold at the highest price has been German Andreas Gurskyn Rhine II from 1999. The image was sold to an anonymous collector for $ 4.3 million in 2011.
Now for sale Le Violon d’Ingres (Violin of Ingres) is the most famous photograph of American Man Ray and one of the most famous works of surreal art. The woman in the picture is Man Ray’s female friend at the time, a French model and artist Alice Prinalso known as Kiki de Montparnasse.
Man Ray first photographed Prin, took a picture of the picture, painted the familiar f-holes on the violin cover, and took a new picture of the processed print.
The image has been in a private collection in New York for the past 60 years, for which it was purchased from the artist.
