Auction result misses estimated price range
In April 2021 a collector was able to acquire the work Loker Reading Room – Widener Library, Harvard University, Cambridge by Ahmet Ertug for USD 27,720.00 (€ 23,042.39). This price was achieved in the auction Photographs at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Ahmet Ertug 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 Library of Trinity College, 'The Long Room', Dublin in April 2014 with an auction result of USD 137,000.00 (€ 98,774.33).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im April 2021 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Loker Reading Room – Widener Library, Harvard University, Cambridge von Ahmet Ertug für USD 27.720,00 (€ 23.042,39) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Photographs bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Ahmet Ertug auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Library of Trinity College, 'The Long Room', Dublin im April 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 137.000,00 (€ 98.774,33).
