Auction result misses estimated price range
In July 2015 a collector was able to acquire the work 'Coney Island' by Leon Levinstein for USD 3,000.00 (€ 2,720.35). This price was achieved in the auction CONTEMPORARY LIVING – Photographs, Prints & Design at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Leon Levinstein - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Coney Island, 1975, which sold at auction in February 2007 for USD 8,400.00 (€ 6,349.21).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Juli 2015 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit 'Coney Island' von Leon Levinstein für USD 3.000,00 (€ 2.720,35) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion CONTEMPORARY LIVING – Photographs, Prints & Design bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Leon Levinstein mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Coney Island, 1975 beobachtet, die im Februar 2007 für USD 8.400,00 (€ 6.349,21) versteigert wurde.
