Auction result well in line with expectations

In May 2018 Sothebys in Paris held the auction Photographs Online, which included the work 'David Y Goliath', 1959 by Alberto Korda. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of EUR 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of EUR 2,160.00 could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Alberto Korda have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Guerrillero Heroico (Che Guevara), 5/30/1960 in March 2015 with an auction result of USD 11,250.00 (€ 10,473.89).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Mai 2018 führte Sothebys in Paris die Auktion Photographs Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'David Y Goliath', 1959 von Alberto Korda zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von EUR 2.160,00 konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Alberto Korda auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Guerrillero Heroico (Che Guevara), 5/30/1960 im März 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 11.250,00 (€ 10.473,89).
