A top price for Robert Capa

In April 2018 Phillips in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Death of a Loyalist Soldier by Robert Capa. The »bidding war« ended at USD 162,500.00 (€ 134,586.72), 35% above the upper estimate. With this result, Death of a Loyalist Soldier is even the most expensive work of art by Robert Capa that we have observed at auctions so far.

Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 162.500,00 (€ 134.586,72) und damit 35% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Mit diesem Ergebnis ist Death of a Loyalist Soldier sogar das teuerste Kunstwerk von Robert Capa, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
