Bert Stern (1930-2013)
Marilyn Monroe (from the portfolio 'The Last Sitting'), 1962
Chromogenic print, printed later; signed and numbered '102/250' in ink in the margin.
19 x 19 in. (48.3 x 48.3 cm.)
sheet 24 x 20 in. (60.7 x 50.8 cm.)

Auction result well in line with expectations

In April this year Bonhams held the auction Classic & Contemporary Photographs, which included the work Marilyn Monroe (from the portfolio 'The Last Sitting') by Bert Stern. The price achieved of USD 1,912.50 (€ 1,732.34) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 1,500.00 – 2,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bert Stern achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Marilyn Monroe, 'The Last Sitting', 1962, an exhibition presented at seventh 'Mois de la Photo à Paris', 1992 in December 2008 with an auction result of USD 146,500.00 (€ 105,251.81).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im April diesen Jahres führte Bonhams die Auktion Classic & Contemporary Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Marilyn Monroe (from the portfolio 'The Last Sitting') von Bert Stern zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 1.912,50 (€ 1.732,34) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bert Stern erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Marilyn Monroe, 'The Last Sitting', 1962, an exhibition presented at seventh 'Mois de la Photo à Paris', 1992 im Dezember 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 146.500,00 (€ 105.251,81).
