Auction result well in line with expectations
In January this year Bonhams held the auction Prints & Photographs | Bonhams Skinner, which included the work Mother and Child Four Months After the Atomic Bomb, Hiroshima by Alfred Eisenstaedt. The price achieved of USD 1,402.50 (€ 1,291.67) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 1,000.00 – 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alfred Eisenstaedt achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'Children At A Puppet Theatre, Paris' in October 2008 with an auction result of USD 50,000.00 (€ 39,425.96).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar diesen Jahres führte Bonhams die Auktion Prints & Photographs | Bonhams Skinner durch, in der auch die Arbeit Mother and Child Four Months After the Atomic Bomb, Hiroshima von Alfred Eisenstaedt zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 1.402,50 (€ 1.291,67) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 1.000,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alfred Eisenstaedt erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'Children At A Puppet Theatre, Paris' im Oktober 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 39.425,96).
