Comment(s): Rare. While there are auction records for the single portrait 22" x 22" poster of Ross, we could not locate any auction records at traditional "brick and mortar" auction houses (or on the internet) for our example, the four portrait 30" x 30" poster. According to ‘Gordon’s Art Reference’ the auction record for the single portrait 22” x 22” poster (signed) is $3,107 (€2,394) at Nagel Auktionen, Stuttgart, Germany, 4/21/2009, lot #823.
