Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Three Asaro Mud Men, New Guinea, 1970 by Irving Penn was auctioned 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 25,000.00 – 35,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 25,200.00 (€ 23,915.73) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Irving Penn achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached 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 Three Asaro Mud Men, New Guinea, 1970 von Irving Penn kam im April letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 25.200,00 (€ 23.915,73) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Irving Penn erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Woman in Moroccan Palace (Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn), 1951 im November 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 361.000,00.
