Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2000 Christies in London held the auction 19th and 20th Century Photographs, which included the work Portrait of Alberto Giacometti, 1963, printed later by Henri Cartier-Bresson. The price achieved of GBP 1,116.25 (€ 1,907.99) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 900.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henri Cartier-Bresson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work On the Banks of the Marne, France in April 2017 with an auction result of USD 212,500.00 (€ 195,043.60).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion 19th and 20th Century Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Alberto Giacometti, 1963, printed later von Henri Cartier-Bresson zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.116,25 (€ 1.907,99) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 900,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henri Cartier-Bresson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit On the Banks of the Marne, France im April 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 212.500,00 (€ 195.043,60).
