Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In December 2008 Christies in New York held the auction Icons of Glamour and Style: The Constantiner Collection, which included the work Marilyn Monroe, 1950s by Cornell Capa. Here, the upper estimate of USD 5,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 5,250.00 (€ 3,771.82). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cornell Capa - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bolshoi Ballet School, Moscow, which sold at auction in October 2015 for USD 11,250.00 (€ 10,188.37).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Dezember 2008 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Icons of Glamour and Style: The Constantiner Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Marilyn Monroe, 1950s von Cornell Capa zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 5.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 5.250,00 (€ 3.771,82) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Cornell Capa mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Bolshoi Ballet School, Moscow beobachtet, die im Oktober 2015 für USD 11.250,00 (€ 10.188,37) versteigert wurde.
