Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work John F. Kennedy, Campaign, 1960 by Cornell Capa was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 687.50 (€ 529.95). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Cornell Capa achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Bolshoi Ballet School, Moscow in October 2015 with an auction result of USD 11,250.00 (€ 10,188.37).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit John F. Kennedy, Campaign, 1960 von Cornell Capa im Dezember 2011 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 687,50 (€ 529,95) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Cornell Capa erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Bolshoi Ballet School, Moscow im Oktober 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 11.250,00 (€ 10.188,37).
