The work Truman Capote, New York City, October 10, 1955 by Richard Avedon was sold in the The Unseen Eye: Photographs from the W.M. Hunt Collection auction at Christies in New York in October 2020. The »bidding war« ended at USD 16,250.00 (€ 13,952.09), 35% 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).

Die Arbeit Truman Capote, New York City, October 10, 1955 von Richard Avedon wurde im Oktober 2020 in der Auktion The Unseen Eye: Photographs from the W.M. Hunt Collection bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 16.250,00 (€ 13.952,09) und damit 35% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
