The work Woman On The Beach, Smoking, (Mary Jane Russell), Long Island, N.Y., 1949 by Irving Penn was sold in the Photographs auction at Christies in New York in April 2006. The »bidding war« ended at USD 20,400.00 (€ 16,159.70), 36% above the upper 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.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 36 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Woman On The Beach, Smoking, (Mary Jane Russell), Long Island, N.Y., 1949 von Irving Penn wurde im April 2006 in der Auktion Photographs bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 20.400,00 (€ 16.159,70) und damit 36% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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.
