Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Edward Weston could be acquired at Bonhams in Los Angeles in December this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Made in CaliforniaPhotographs auction, the work Tina Modotti, Nude, Seated on a Stool changed hands for USD 1,920.00 (€ 1,735.67) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Edward Weston konnte im Dezember diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Los Angeles für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Made in CaliforniaPhotographs wechselte die Arbeit Tina Modotti, Nude, Seated on a Stool für USD 1.920,00 (€ 1.735,67) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. 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).
