The upcoming Photography sale at Van Ham in Cologne later this week has a wide range of generally lower end material, with a solid selection of German photography (as expected). Likely as an attempt to attract entry-level buyers, all of the lots that are priced below 1000€ are gathered together in a single section at the back of the catalogue. Overall, there are a total of 287 lots on offer in this sale, with a Total High Estimate of 395670€. (Catalog covers at right, via Van Ham.)Here's the breakdown:
Total Low Lots (high estimate up to and including 7500€): 284

Total Mid Lots (high estimate between 7500€ and 35000€): 3
Total Mid Estimate: 30000€
Total High Lots (high estimate above 35000€): 0
