Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2021 Bonhams in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Blind Musician, Abony, Hungary by André Kertész. The price achieved of USD 3,825.00 (€ 3,179.55) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by André Kertész achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Atelier Mondrian, Paris in October 2000 with an auction result of USD 314,000.00 (€ 370,021.21).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2021 führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Blind Musician, Abony, Hungary von André Kertész zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.825,00 (€ 3.179,55) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von André Kertész erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Atelier Mondrian, Paris im Oktober 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 314.000,00 (€ 370.021,21).
