Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Giraffes in Mirage on the Taru Desert, Kenya, June by Peter Beard was sold in the Photographs auction at Phillips in London in May this year. The price achieved of GBP 10,795.00 (€ 12,560.05) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Giraffes in Mirage on the Taru Desert, Kenya, June von Peter Beard wurde im Mai diesen Jahres in der Auktion Photographs bei Phillips in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 10.795,00 (€ 12.560,05) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
