Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2001 Christies in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Mykanos; and State Run Kindergarden from the UNESCO project Children after the War by David Seymour. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 3,290.00 (€ 3,707.46) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by David Seymour have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in March 2010 the work Prostitute near the Krupp works, West Germany, Essen was auctioned for GBP 5,250.00 (€ 5,894.31).
