Auction result well in line with expectations
In February this year Bonhams held the auction Masters of PhotographyFrom Edward S. Curtis to Berenice Abbott, which included the work Marilyn Monroe, Smile (from The Last Sitting) by Bert Stern. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 3,060.00 (€ 2,886.25) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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 Februar diesen Jahres führte Bonhams die Auktion Masters of PhotographyFrom Edward S. Curtis to Berenice Abbott durch, in der auch die Arbeit Marilyn Monroe, Smile (from The Last Sitting) von Bert Stern zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 3.060,00 (€ 2.886,25) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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).
