Shortly after a major Cindy Sherman retrospective opens at New York’s Museum of Modern Art on Feb. 26, one of her most famous images will be sold at Sotheby’s. The combination could boost her prices after last year’s career high auction total of $13.7 million.
The 8-by-10-inch black-and-white photograph depicts a young working woman, wearing a crisp suit and an anxious expression, standing amid big city buildings. It’s part of Sotheby’s contemporary-art sale on March 9 in New York and has a presale estimate of $150,000 to $200,000.
