Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2014 Phillips in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work The Raphael Loggia, The State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg by Ahmet Ertug. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 43,750.00 (€ 34,916.20) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ahmet Ertug - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Library of Trinity College, 'The Long Room', Dublin, which sold at auction in April 2014 for USD 137,000.00 (€ 98,774.33).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2014 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Raphael Loggia, The State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg von Ahmet Ertug zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 43.750,00 (€ 34.916,20) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Ahmet Ertug mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Library of Trinity College, 'The Long Room', Dublin beobachtet, die im April 2014 für USD 137.000,00 (€ 98.774,33) versteigert wurde.
