Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Death of a Lightbulb /.30 cal Bullet by Harold E. Edgerton was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in May 2020. The price achieved of USD 3,187.50 (€ 2,872.14) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Harold E. Edgerton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'Harold Edgerton: Ten Dye Transfer Photographs' in October 2019 with an auction result of USD 60,000.00 (€ 53,787.54).

Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.187,50 (€ 2.872,14) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Harold E. Edgerton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'Harold Edgerton: Ten Dye Transfer Photographs' im Oktober 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 60.000,00 (€ 53.787,54).
