Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Louisville Flood Red Cross Relief Station, Louisville, K. Y. by Margaret Bourke-White was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in December 2020. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 3,276.00 (€ 2,678.66) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Margaret Bourke-White achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Flood Refugees, Louisville, Kentucky in April 2019 with an auction result of USD 400,000.00 (€ 357,110.97).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Louisville Flood Red Cross Relief Station, Louisville, K. Y. von Margaret Bourke-White kam im Dezember 2020 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 3.276,00 (€ 2.678,66) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Margaret Bourke-White erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Flood Refugees, Louisville, Kentucky im April 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 400.000,00 (€ 357.110,97).
