Auction result misses estimated price range

In June 2012 a collector was able to acquire the work La falce (The Scythe), 1955 by Alfredo Camisa for GBP 5,000.00 (€ 6,191.19). This price was achieved in the auction Masterworks of Italian Photography 1945-1975 From the Collection of Paolo Morello at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00 set by the auction house. Other works by Alfredo Camisa have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in October 2013 by the work Studies Of Italian Life, 1950S at GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,864.94).
