Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Four Guedras, Morocco, 1971 by Irving Penn was sold in the Photographs from the Richard Gere Collection auction at Christies in New York in April last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 40,320.00 (€ 38,265.16) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Irving Penn have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Woman in Moroccan Palace (Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn), 1951 in November 2011 with an auction result of EUR 361,000.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Four Guedras, Morocco, 1971 von Irving Penn wurde im April letzten Jahres in der Auktion Photographs from the Richard Gere Collection bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 40.320,00 (€ 38.265,16) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Irving Penn auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Woman in Moroccan Palace (Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn), 1951 im November 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 361.000,00.
