Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In September 2006 Christies in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Igor Stravinsky, Venice, 1951 by Cornell Capa. Here, the upper estimate of USD 5,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 5,040.00 (€ 3,972.57). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cornell Capa - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bolshoi Ballet School, Moscow, which sold at auction in October 2015 for USD 11,250.00 (€ 10,188.37).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im September 2006 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Igor Stravinsky, Venice, 1951 von Cornell Capa zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 5.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 5.040,00 (€ 3.972,57) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Cornell Capa mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Bolshoi Ballet School, Moscow beobachtet, die im Oktober 2015 für USD 11.250,00 (€ 10.188,37) versteigert wurde.
