Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Edward Steichen could be acquired at Christies in New York in October 2017 for an unexpectedly low price. In the MoMA: Pictorialism into Modernism auction, the work Greta Garbo, 1928 changed hands for USD 8,125.00 (€ 6,975.45) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edward Steichen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Flatiron in November last year with an auction result of USD 11,840,000.00 (€ 11,469,534.05).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Edward Steichen konnte im Oktober 2017 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion MoMA: Pictorialism into Modernism wechselte die Arbeit Greta Garbo, 1928 für USD 8.125,00 (€ 6.975,45) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edward Steichen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Flatiron im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 11.840.000,00 (€ 11.469.534,05).
