Georgia O'Keeffe More Valuable than Picasso or Chagall



My how things have changed. . .

An interesting way at looking at the popularity of Georgia O'Keeffe is to compare photographs of famous artists that have recently been sold by Christie's Auction House.

Photographs of three famous artists, all by Yousaf Karsh, garnered far different prices.


Yousuf Karsh, Pablo Picasso, 1954, Christie's, Price realized $ 6,875




Yousuf Karsh, Marc Chagall, 1956, Christie's, Price realized $ 8,125






Yousuf Karsh, Georgia O'Keeffe, 1956, Christie's, Price realized $ 11,250


These realized prices are from quite a while ago but are the most recent available from Christie's.

Dates of sales:

  • Georgia O'Keeffe        $  11, 250        Sale date  14 October 2008

  • Marc Chagal              $   8,125           Sale date 11 April 2008

  • Pablo Picasso               $  6,875          Sale date  19 December 2011

I'd love to know the value of these photographs in today's 2018 market.
