Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by William Wegman could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in July 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Bette Davis Eyes and Other Natural Phenomena: Photographs at No Reserve auction, the work Untitled (Stepsisters Prepare) (from Cinderella) changed hands for USD 1,890.00 (€ 1,593.05) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Wegman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work On and On, 2015 in October 2019 with an auction result of USD 50,000.00 (€ 44,822.95).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von William Wegman konnte im Juli 2021 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Bette Davis Eyes and Other Natural Phenomena: Photographs at No Reserve wechselte die Arbeit Untitled (Stepsisters Prepare) (from Cinderella) für USD 1.890,00 (€ 1.593,05) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Wegman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit On and On, 2015 im Oktober 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 44.822,95).
