Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Ahmadi Oil Fields, Kuwait by Steve McCurry was sold in the Photographs auction at Bonhams in New York in April 2021. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 3,187.50 (€ 2,649.63) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Steve McCurry achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Blue City, Jodhpur, India, 2010 in November 2018 with an auction result of INR 3,750,000.00 (€ 47,359.36).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Ahmadi Oil Fields, Kuwait von Steve McCurry wurde im April 2021 in der Auktion Photographs bei Bonhams in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 3.187,50 (€ 2.649,63) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Steve McCurry erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Blue City, Jodhpur, India, 2010 im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von INR 3.750.000,00 (€ 47.359,36).
