Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Women Firewatchers, London, for British Vogue, 1940 by Lee Miller was sold in the Photographs auction at Christies in London in November 2007. The result of GBP 1,500.00 (€ 2,100.39) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. 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).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Women Firewatchers, London, for British Vogue, 1940 von Lee Miller wurde im November 2007 in der Auktion Photographs bei Christies in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 1.500,00 (€ 2.100,39) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00. 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).
