Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Peter Beard achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in April 2008. In the Photographs From The Collection Of Gert Elfering auction, the work Giraffes In Mirage On The Taru Desert, Kenya, June 1960 sold for USD 49,000.00 (€ 31,474.82) - well above the upper estimate of USD 22,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Peter Beard achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Orphaned Cheetah Cubs, Mweiga, near Nyeri, Kenya, March 1968 in October 2017 with an auction result of USD 672,500.00 (€ 577,352.34).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Peter Beard erzielte im April 2008 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Photographs From The Collection Of Gert Elfering wurde die Arbeit Giraffes In Mirage On The Taru Desert, Kenya, June 1960 für USD 49.000,00 (€ 31.474,82) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 22.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Peter Beard erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Orphaned Cheetah Cubs, Mweiga, near Nyeri, Kenya, March 1968 im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 672.500,00 (€ 577.352,34).
