Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2000 Christies in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Cab Calloway; and Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire by Carl van Vechten. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 2,115.00 (€ 2,326.99) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Carl van Vechten - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Man Ray, 1934, which sold at auction in November 2012 for EUR 6,250.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2000 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Cab Calloway; and Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire von Carl van Vechten zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 2.115,00 (€ 2.326,99) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Carl van Vechten mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Man Ray, 1934 beobachtet, die im November 2012 für EUR 6.250,00 versteigert wurde.
