Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2013 Christies in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work 'Concerning America And Alfred Stieglitz, And Myself' by Emmet Gowin. The price achieved of USD 30,000.00 (€ 22,068.56) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Emmet Gowin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Concerning America and Alfred Stieglitz, and Myself. Richmond, Virginia: by the photographer, 1965., which sold at auction in May 2010 for GBP 39,650.00 (€ 46,455.48).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2013 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'Concerning America And Alfred Stieglitz, And Myself' von Emmet Gowin zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 30.000,00 (€ 22.068,56) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Emmet Gowin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Concerning America and Alfred Stieglitz, and Myself. Richmond, Virginia: by the photographer, 1965. beobachtet, die im Mai 2010 für GBP 39.650,00 (€ 46.455,48) versteigert wurde.
