It is a bit of a misnomer as well, since a lot of the colour contemporary photographers get shifted "up" to the Contemporary art sales, especially in London (wherein I believe Gursky's 99 cents is the highest selling photographic work ever at auction). It also helps when you get to auction a huge Weston collection...
