Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2005 Christies in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Pictorial Artistry: The Dramatization of the Beautiful in Photography by Adolf Fassbender. 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 3,120.00 (€ 2,415.05) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Adolf Fassbender have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The White Night in October 2000 with an auction result of USD 17,625.00 (€ 20,769.50).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2005 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Pictorial Artistry: The Dramatization of the Beautiful in Photography von Adolf Fassbender zur Versteigerung kam. 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 3.120,00 (€ 2.415,05) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Adolf Fassbender auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The White Night im Oktober 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 17.625,00 (€ 20.769,50).
