Upper estimate price exceeded by 40 %.
The work Mediola Arginica (Bangor, US), 1852-1854 by Anna Atkins was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2015. It achieved a price of USD 35,000.00 (€ 32,585.42), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 40%. 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 40 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Mediola Arginica (Bangor, US), 1852-1854 von Anna Atkins kam im März 2015 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 35.000,00 (€ 32.585,42) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 40%. 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).
