Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Bibliothèque Nationale de France Paris (a) by Candida Höfer was auctioned at Phillips in New York in April this year. It changed hands for a price of USD 7,620.00 (€ 6,902.17) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Candida Höfer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Biblioteca Geral da Universidade de Coimbra IV in February 2015 with an auction result of GBP 80,500.00 (€ 110,997.54).

Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 7.620,00 (€ 6.902,17) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00.
