Thanks to Gerard, just an additional information:

The exhibition is opened already since August 15th, Wendsday to Sunday
between 12.00 and 19.00 h, phone ++49-40-246 676. The price per pic is appr.
DM 3.500.--
(ca. $ 1950.--, with 1$ = DM 1.80) ... 

Hard to understand ... Jean Loup Sieff asked between nF 1000.-- and nF
2000.-- (between $ 200 and $ 400) in 1981 for his b/w pics, according to his
diary (Munich: Schirmer/ Mosel 1983, ISBN 3-88814-109-5, p. 18).
