Kiss woman sells classic photo for €156,000

THE woman in Robert Doisneau’s classic photograph of a couple stealing a passionate kiss on a Paris street sold her original print for €156,000 at an auction - about 10 times the expected sale price.

The Kiss at City Hall was bought by an unidentified Swiss buyer, according to Artcurial Briest Pulain le Fur auction house, where the sale took place.

Auctioneer Herve Poulain said he believed the price was among the highest ever for a 20th century photograph.
