Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Shipbreaking #5, Chittagong, Bangladesh by Edward Burtynsky was auctioned at Phillips in New York in October this year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 8,890.00 (€ 8,412.19) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Edward Burtynsky have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Nickel Tailings #34 and #35, Sudbury, Ontario in October 2014 with an auction result of USD 100,000.00 (€ 79,808.46).

Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 8.890,00 (€ 8.412,19) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Edward Burtynsky auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Nickel Tailings #34 and #35, Sudbury, Ontario im Oktober 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 100.000,00 (€ 79.808,46).
