Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.
In April 2017 Sothebys in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work 'Dunes - Oceano' by Edward Weston. The »bidding war« ended at USD 300,000.00 (€ 275,355.67), 50% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edward Weston - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nude, which sold at auction in April 2008 for USD 1,609,000.00 (€ 1,033,530.32).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
Im April 2017 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'Dunes - Oceano' von Edward Weston zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 300.000,00 (€ 275.355,67) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Edward Weston mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Nude beobachtet, die im April 2008 für USD 1.609.000,00 (€ 1.033.530,32) versteigert wurde.
