Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2020 Sothebys in New York held the auction Classic Photographs, which included the work 'Philadelphia' by Dave Heath. The price achieved of USD 6,300.00 (€ 5,409.12) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Dave Heath - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Washington Square, New York City, 1958, which sold at auction in October 2016 for USD 12,500.00 (€ 11,403.03).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2020 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Classic Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'Philadelphia' von Dave Heath zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 6.300,00 (€ 5.409,12) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Dave Heath mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Washington Square, New York City, 1958 beobachtet, die im Oktober 2016 für USD 12.500,00 (€ 11.403,03) versteigert wurde.
