Description
CECIL BEATON (1904–1980) Self Portrait with Picasso, 1965 gelatin silver print signed, inscribed and dated by Pablo Picasso 'pour Cecil Beaton / Ami / Picasso 9.6.65' in red and blue ink (recto); stamped Cecil Beaton Studio Sotheby Parke Bernet in ink (verso) image: 11 1 ⁄ 4 x 7 3 ⁄ 4 in.

Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Self Portrait with Picasso, 1965 by Cecil Beaton was sold in the A Century of Art: Photographs from The Gerald Fineberg Collection auction at Christies in London in October this year. Here, the upper estimate of USD 7,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 7,560.00 (€ 7,153.67). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Cecil Beaton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle, 1963 in September 2017 with an auction result of GBP 93,750.00 (€ 106,360.58).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Self Portrait with Picasso, 1965 von Cecil Beaton wurde im Oktober diesen Jahres in der Auktion A Century of Art: Photographs from The Gerald Fineberg Collection bei Christies in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 7.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 7.560,00 (€ 7.153,67) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Cecil Beaton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle, 1963 im September 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 93.750,00 (€ 106.360,58).
