Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Bates Hall, Boston Public Library by Ahmet Ertug was sold in the Contemporary Photographs auction at Sothebys in New York in October 2020. It changed hands for a price of USD 47,880.00 (€ 41,109.30) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ahmet Ertug - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Library of Trinity College, 'The Long Room', Dublin, which sold at auction in April 2014 for USD 137,000.00 (€ 98,774.33).
