Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Homer Page could be acquired at Christies in New York in July 2018 for an unexpectedly low price. In the MoMA: Tracing Photography's History auction, the work Two boys, 1940s changed hands for USD 2,750.00 (€ 2,349.22) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Homer Page - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 'N. Y.' (Coney Island), which sold at auction in April 2010 for USD 7,500.00 (€ 5,638.25).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Homer Page konnte im Juli 2018 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion MoMA: Tracing Photography's History wechselte die Arbeit Two boys, 1940s für USD 2.750,00 (€ 2.349,22) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Homer Page mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit 'N. Y.' (Coney Island) beobachtet, die im April 2010 für USD 7.500,00 (€ 5.638,25) versteigert wurde.
