Auction result misses estimated price range
In October 2017 a collector was able to acquire the work Male Nude Hanging, 1941 by George Platt Lynes for USD 4,375.00 (€ 3,756.01). This price was achieved in the auction Visionaries: Photographs from the Emily and Jerry Spiegel Collection at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Platt Lynes - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Yul Brynner, 1942, which sold at auction in October 2005 for USD 16,800.00 (€ 14,005.84).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Oktober 2017 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Male Nude Hanging, 1941 von George Platt Lynes für USD 4.375,00 (€ 3.756,01) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Visionaries: Photographs from the Emily and Jerry Spiegel Collection bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von George Platt Lynes mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Yul Brynner, 1942 beobachtet, die im Oktober 2005 für USD 16.800,00 (€ 14.005,84) versteigert wurde.
