Upper estimate price exceeded by 53 %.
In October 2021 Christies held the auction Photographs, which included the work Untitled Photogram, 1939 by László Moholy-Nagy. The »bidding war« ended at USD 137,500.00 (€ 119,027.01), 53% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by László Moholy-Nagy achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Em 1 Telephonbild (Em 1 Telephone Picture) in November 2016 with an auction result of USD 6,087,500.00 (€ 5,754,868.60).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 53 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2021 führte Christies die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled Photogram, 1939 von László Moholy-Nagy zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 137.500,00 (€ 119.027,01) und damit 53% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von László Moholy-Nagy erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Em 1 Telephonbild (Em 1 Telephone Picture) im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.087.500,00 (€ 5.754.868,60).
