Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Untitled, Plate No. 4, From Storyville Portraits, 1911 by E. J. Bellocq was sold in the The Unseen Eye: Photographs from the W.M. Hunt Collection auction at Christies in New York in October 2020. It changed hands for a price of USD 3,250.00 (€ 2,790.42) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by E. J. Bellocq achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Storyville Portrait, New Orleans, c. 1911-1913 in October this year with an auction result of USD 56,700.00 (€ 53,652.54).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Untitled, Plate No. 4, From Storyville Portraits, 1911 von E. J. Bellocq wurde im Oktober 2020 in der Auktion The Unseen Eye: Photographs from the W.M. Hunt Collection bei Christies in New York versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 3.250,00 (€ 2.790,42) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.500,00 – 3.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von E. J. Bellocq erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Storyville Portrait, New Orleans, c. 1911-1913 im Oktober diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 56.700,00 (€ 53.652,54).
