Upper estimate price exceeded by 88 %.
This artwork by Man Ray achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in October 2017. In the Photographs Including Property from the Museum of Modern Art auction, the work La Prière, 1930 sold for USD 131,250.00 (€ 112,680.29) - well above the upper estimate of USD 70,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Man Ray achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Le Violon d'Ingres, 1924 in May last year with an auction result of USD 12,412,500.00 (€ 11,566,955.55).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Man Ray erzielte im Oktober 2017 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Photographs Including Property from the Museum of Modern Art wurde die Arbeit La Prière, 1930 für USD 131.250,00 (€ 112.680,29) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 70.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Man Ray erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Le Violon d'Ingres, 1924 im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 12.412.500,00 (€ 11.566.955,55).
