The Value of cindy sherman's Works

The price of Sherman's famous photography, which is now regarded as a classic, has skyrocketed. Untitled #48 shows the back of a traveler standing on a deserted road. This work is usually published in professional newspapers, and as a popular modern symbol, it is quoted by Madonna's Hollywood short film. Madonna and others co-sponsored the exhibition of his work in MoMA. However, the more "confidential" works in Sherman's series were sold for less than 50,000 euros when the buyer changed hands. For example, Untitled # 18 was sold at Sotheby's in new york last April for 55,000 dollars. Today, we need to pay 30,000-80,000 euros to buy a photographic work made in the 1970s and 1980s with less than 50 copies. The price record of an artist's single work was produced in August 2004. Untitled # 92 (198 1 year) was sold at a high price of $420,000 due to the limited number of copies 10.

A version of Sherman's photography 100 copies, quite cheap. This means that buyers can buy her works for less than 2000 euros. However, collectors still favor the collection of its large-scale works: The Doll in the Mask has 125 copies, which was valued at 2,000 euros by Sotheby's Milan auction house last May, and this work was also sold at 1999. This kind of large-scale work is cheap, so it gives art lovers the opportunity to get Sherman's work at an affordable price: a 48/200 work was sold at Desan auction house in Paris for only 800 euros last year.
