Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Charles Jourdan, shoe campaign, Spring, 1979 by Guy Bourdin was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 4,750.00 (€ 4,053.59). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Guy Bourdin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work French Vogue, March 1972 in May 2017 with an auction result of GBP 50,000.00 (€ 57,427.02).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Charles Jourdan, shoe campaign, Spring, 1979 von Guy Bourdin im September 2020 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 4.750,00 (€ 4.053,59) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Guy Bourdin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit French Vogue, March 1972 im Mai 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 50.000,00 (€ 57.427,02).
