Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2017 Christies in New York held the auction Important Photographs from the Collection of Donald and Alice Lappé, which included the work Narcissus, 1901 by Edward Steichen. It changed hands for a price of USD 187,500.00 (€ 160,971.84) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 100,000.00 – 200,000.00. 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2017 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Important Photographs from the Collection of Donald and Alice Lappé durch, in der auch die Arbeit Narcissus, 1901 von Edward Steichen zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 187.500,00 (€ 160.971,84) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 100.000,00 – 200.000,00. 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).
