Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
The work 'Mediola Arginica (Bangor, U. S.)' by Anna Atkins was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2011. It achieved a price of USD 12,500.00 (€ 8,962.50), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Anna Atkins achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Photographs of British Algæ. Cyanotype Impressions., Robert Hunt's copy in May 2004 with an auction result of GBP 229,250.00 (€ 343,959.44).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit 'Mediola Arginica (Bangor, U. S.)' von Anna Atkins kam im Oktober 2011 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 12.500,00 (€ 8.962,50) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 25%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Anna Atkins erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Photographs of British Algæ. Cyanotype Impressions., Robert Hunt's copy im Mai 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 229.250,00 (€ 343.959,44).
