Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2017 Phillips in New York held the auction The Odyssey of Collecting: Photographs from Joy of Giving Something Foundation, Part 2, which included the work George Morrow by Roy DeCarava. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 10,625.00 (€ 9,752.18) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Roy DeCarava have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Hallway, New York in October 2019 with an auction result of USD 72,500.00 (€ 64,993.28).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2017 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion The Odyssey of Collecting: Photographs from Joy of Giving Something Foundation, Part 2 durch, in der auch die Arbeit George Morrow von Roy DeCarava zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 10.625,00 (€ 9.752,18) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Roy DeCarava auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Hallway, New York im Oktober 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 72.500,00 (€ 64.993,28).
