Upper estimate price exceeded by 33 %.
The work Marylin Monroe in Black Evening Dress (from 'The Last Sitting') by Bert Stern was sold in the The Gift of Photographs auction at Bonhams in New York in December this year. It achieved a price of USD 3,328.00 (€ 3,008.50), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 33%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bert Stern achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Marilyn Monroe, 'The Last Sitting', 1962, an exhibition presented at seventh 'Mois de la Photo à Paris', 1992 in December 2008 with an auction result of USD 146,500.00 (€ 105,251.81).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 33 % übertroffen
