Auction result well in line with expectations
The work "Alan Bean At Sharp Crater With The Handtool Carrier". Photographed By Charles Conrad, Apollo 12, November 14-24 1969 by Michael Light was sold in the Space Exploration auction at Sothebys in New York in November 2018. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 2,125.00 (€ 1,876.71) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Michael Light - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Composite of Harrison Schmitt and the Lunar Rover at "Split Rock", Photographed by Eugene Cernan, Apollo 17, December 7-19, 1972 from Full Moon, which sold at auction in November 2010 for GBP 3,375.00 (€ 4,033.12).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit "Alan Bean At Sharp Crater With The Handtool Carrier". Photographed By Charles Conrad, Apollo 12, November 14-24 1969 von Michael Light wurde im November 2018 in der Auktion Space Exploration bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 2.125,00 (€ 1.876,71) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Michael Light mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Composite of Harrison Schmitt and the Lunar Rover at "Split Rock", Photographed by Eugene Cernan, Apollo 17, December 7-19, 1972 from Full Moon beobachtet, die im November 2010 für GBP 3.375,00 (€ 4.033,12) versteigert wurde.
