Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Edward Steichen achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in New York in April this year. In the Photographs auction, the work Steichen (The Steichen Book) sold for USD 53,340.00 (€ 48,315.22) - well above the upper estimate of USD 18,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Edward Steichen erzielte im April diesen Jahres bei Phillips in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Photographs wurde die Arbeit Steichen (The Steichen Book) für USD 53.340,00 (€ 48.315,22) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 18.000,00. 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).
