Sold at the lower estimate price
In April 2019 Phillips in New York held the auction Passion & Humanity: The Susie Tompkins Buell Collection, which included the work Edward Weston with Camera by Tina Modotti. The result of USD 25,000.00 (€ 22,319.44) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Tina Modotti achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Telephone Wires, Mexico in April 2019 with an auction result of USD 692,000.00 (€ 617,801.98).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im April 2019 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Passion & Humanity: The Susie Tompkins Buell Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Edward Weston with Camera von Tina Modotti zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 22.319,44) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Tina Modotti erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Telephone Wires, Mexico im April 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 692.000,00 (€ 617.801,98).
