Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2019 Bonhams in New York held the auction Town | CountryPhotographs Online Sale, which included the work Café du Dôme, Montparnasse by Brassaï. The price achieved of USD 3,825.00 (€ 3,507.57) 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 Brassaï achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ciel Postiche (False Sky) in April 2001 with an auction result of USD 44,650.00 (€ 50,315.53).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2019 führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion Town | CountryPhotographs Online Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Café du Dôme, Montparnasse von Brassaï zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.825,00 (€ 3.507,57) 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 Brassaï erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Ciel Postiche (False Sky) im April 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 44.650,00 (€ 50.315,53).
