Upper estimate price exceeded by 79 %.
This artwork by Ruth Orkin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in New York in February last year. In the Ruth Orkin@100Photographs Online auction, the work A selection of publications 8 sold for USD 892.50 (€ 795.17) - well above the upper estimate of USD 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ruth Orkin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work American Girl in Florence, Italy in February 2021 with an auction result of USD 52,812.50 (€ 43,671.96).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 79 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Ruth Orkin erzielte im Februar letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Ruth Orkin@100Photographs Online wurde die Arbeit A selection of publications 8 für USD 892,50 (€ 795,17) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ruth Orkin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit American Girl in Florence, Italy im Februar 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 52.812,50 (€ 43.671,96).
