Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2019 Christies in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Young Friend at Ellie Dorfman's Home, 1985 by Allen Ginsberg. The price achieved of USD 3,750.00 (€ 3,361.72) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Admittedly, works by Allen Ginsberg have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 Oktober 2019 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Young Friend at Ellie Dorfman's Home, 1985 von Allen Ginsberg zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.750,00 (€ 3.361,72) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Allen Ginsberg auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen 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).
