The Steichen (Lot 6 at Sotheby's sale) was not the only platinum metals
print for which a price record was broken: on this occasion Lot 11, a
palladium print by Alfred Stieglitz (1864–1946) [d], entitled “Georgia
O'Keeffe (Hands)”, dating from 1918, realised $ 1.472M – triple its
estimated sale price. This is a record for a Stieglitz work. Another of
Stieglitz's serial portraits of O'Keeffe, a ‘conventional’
silver-gelatin print from 1919 (Lot 13), realised $ 1.36M. Although
Stieglitz began printing this series of portraits in platinum in 1917
[e], he was soon obliged to turn to palladium and silver papers.
