Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Alex Webb could be acquired at Bonhams in New York in December this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the The Gift of Photographs auction, the work 'Istanbul' (On Board a Ferry at Dusk Near the Princess Islands) changed hands for USD 896.00 (€ 809.98) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Admittedly, works by Alex Webb have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Mexicans arrested while trying to cross the border to the United States, San Ysidro, California, 1979 in April 2017 with an auction result of USD 8,125.00 (€ 7,457.55).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Alex Webb konnte im Dezember diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The Gift of Photographs wechselte die Arbeit 'Istanbul' (On Board a Ferry at Dusk Near the Princess Islands) für USD 896,00 (€ 809,98) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Alex Webb auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Mexicans arrested while trying to cross the border to the United States, San Ysidro, California, 1979 im April 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 8.125,00 (€ 7.457,55).
