Hi everyone,

I noticed that the Phillips auction house has an enormous amount
of high-ticket, contemporary art listed on eBay at the moment, and
there are two of Vera Lutter's large-scale pinhole gelatin/silver
negatives up for bid.

  Old Slip, East Panorama.
  Dated "June 6, 1995". Unique gelatin silver pinhole negative.
  42 x 154 in. (106.7 x 391.2 cm).
  Starts at: $26,000.00
  Item number: 6573242528

  135 La Salle Street, Chicago II: November 7, 2001.
  Unique Gelatin silver pinhole negative.
  77 x 56 in. (195.6 x 142.3 cm).
  Executed in 2001.
  Starts at: $32,000.00
  Item number: 6573242507

It did get me to wondering how often anyone's seen pinhole work get
into 5-digit prices. Or even 4-digits. Choose your own currency.

Sitting these auctions out, but watching, Eric
