Auction result misses estimated price range

In October 2017 a collector was able to acquire the work Bewegungsstudie (Movement Study), 1925 by Rudolf Koppitz for USD 62,500.00 (€ 53,657.28). This price was achieved in the auction Important Photographs from the Collection of Donald and Alice Lappé at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 70,000.00 – 100,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Rudolf Koppitz have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Bewegungsstudie (Movement Study) in April 2018 with an auction result of USD 399,000.00 (€ 330,462.15).
