Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Dovima with Elephants, Evening Dress by Dior, Cirque d'Hiver, Paris, August 1955 by Richard Avedon was sold in the Photographs auction at Christies in New York in April 2010. Here, the upper estimate of USD 80,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 80,500.00 (€ 60,517.22). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Richard Avedon achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Beatles Portfolio: John Lennon, Ringo Starr, George Harrison and Paul McCartney, London in November last year with an auction result of GBP 809,000.00 (€ 937,446.28).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Dovima with Elephants, Evening Dress by Dior, Cirque d'Hiver, Paris, August 1955 von Richard Avedon wurde im April 2010 in der Auktion Photographs bei Christies in New York versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 80.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 80.500,00 (€ 60.517,22) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Richard Avedon erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Beatles Portfolio: John Lennon, Ringo Starr, George Harrison and Paul McCartney, London im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 809.000,00 (€ 937.446,28).
