Auction result well in line with expectations
In April last year Bonhams in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Jack Kerouac on Fire Escape, New York City by Allen Ginsberg. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 2,500.00 – 3,500.00, the actual price achieved of USD 2,550.00 (€ 2,420.04) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Allen Ginsberg achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Selected images of Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Neal Cassady and Peter Orlovsky, 1953-1957 in October 2008 with an auction result of USD 35,000.00 (€ 27,598.17).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Jack Kerouac on Fire Escape, New York City von Allen Ginsberg zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 2.550,00 (€ 2.420,04) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Allen Ginsberg erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Selected images of Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Neal Cassady and Peter Orlovsky, 1953-1957 im Oktober 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 35.000,00 (€ 27.598,17).
