Auction result well in line with expectations
In February 2007 Christies in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Picnic, Mougins, 1937 by Lee Miller. The price achieved of USD 3,600.00 (€ 2,721.09) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Februar 2007 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Picnic, Mougins, 1937 von Lee Miller zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.600,00 (€ 2.721,09) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
