Auction result well in line with expectations
In October this year Phillips in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Young couple wearing a two-in-one suit at the Bal de la Montagne Sainte-Genevièv by Brassaï. The price achieved of USD 7,620.00 (€ 7,210.45) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 7,000.00 – 9,000.00. Admittedly, works by Brassaï have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 Oktober diesen Jahres führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Young couple wearing a two-in-one suit at the Bal de la Montagne Sainte-Genevièv von Brassaï zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 7.620,00 (€ 7.210,45) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 7.000,00 – 9.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Brassaï auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Ciel Postiche (False Sky) im April 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 44.650,00 (€ 50.315,53).
