Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Nautilus Shell by Edward Weston was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2021. The price achieved of USD 6,048.00 (€ 5,235.46) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edward Weston achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nude in April 2008 with an auction result of USD 1,609,000.00 (€ 1,033,530.32).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Nautilus Shell von Edward Weston kam im Oktober 2021 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 6.048,00 (€ 5.235,46) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edward Weston erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nude im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.609.000,00 (€ 1.033.530,32).
