His subjects are bridges, grain elevators, water towers and the flying machines of the early twentieth century, painted in a hard-edged, flat manner that owes a debt to Charles Sheeler, Charles Demuth and Ralston Crawford. He characteristically leaves the background bare white, isolating the object from its surroundings — exactly as here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow we arrived at the price\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe would rather show our working than ask you to take a number on trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteiger's work has come up at auction repeatedly, with realised prices reported across a range of roughly \u003cstrong\u003eUSD 400 to 7,500\u003c\/strong\u003e, depending on size and medium.
