Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Berenice Abbott could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in July 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Bette Davis Eyes and Other Natural Phenomena: Photographs at No Reserve auction, the work Selected Images of New York changed hands for USD 1,134.00 (€ 955.83) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 6,000.00 – 9,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Berenice Abbott achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work New York At Night, 1932 in October 2013 with an auction result of USD 87,500.00 (€ 64,366.63).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Berenice Abbott konnte im Juli 2021 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Bette Davis Eyes and Other Natural Phenomena: Photographs at No Reserve wechselte die Arbeit Selected Images of New York für USD 1.134,00 (€ 955,83) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 6.000,00 – 9.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Berenice Abbott erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit New York At Night, 1932 im Oktober 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 87.500,00 (€ 64.366,63).
