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 Bonhams in New York in October last year. The price achieved of USD 19,125.00 (€ 19,252.06) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 18,000.00 – 20,000.00. 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 Oktober letzten Jahres in der Auktion Photographs bei Bonhams in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 19.125,00 (€ 19.252,06) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 18.000,00 – 20.000,00 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).
