Upper estimate price exceeded by 56 %.
In November 2009 Phillips in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Object by Joseph Cornell Object by Lee Miller. The »bidding war« ended at USD 62,500.00 (€ 41,683.34), 56% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lee Miller achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nude in April 2021 with an auction result of USD 504,000.00 (€ 418,952.62).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 56 % übertroffen
Im November 2009 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Object by Joseph Cornell Object von Lee Miller zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 62.500,00 (€ 41.683,34) und damit 56% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lee Miller erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nude im April 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 504.000,00 (€ 418.952,62).
