This artwork by Wilhelm von Gloeden achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in October 2020. In the The Unseen Eye: Photographs from the W.M. Hunt Collection auction, the work Arab Boy, 1904 sold for USD 4,000.00 (€ 3,434.36) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,500.00. Admittedly, works by Wilhelm von Gloeden have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Sicilian Youths, Taormina, C.1901 in May 2005 with an auction result of GBP 14,400.00 (€ 21,258.92).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Wilhelm von Gloeden erzielte im Oktober 2020 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Unseen Eye: Photographs from the W.M. Hunt Collection wurde die Arbeit Arab Boy, 1904 für USD 4.000,00 (€ 3.434,36) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 1.500,00.
