The work 'Suzy Parker, Evening Dress by Lanvin-Castillo, Café des Beaux Arts, Paris', August 1956 by Richard Avedon was sold in the Photographs auction at Sothebys in London in November 2021. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 15,120.00 (€ 17,752.30), 26% above the upper estimate. 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 um 26 % übertroffen

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).
