Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Eliot Elisofon could be acquired at Christies in New York in October 2020 for an unexpectedly low price. In the The Unseen Eye: Photographs from the W.M. Hunt Collection auction, the work Untitled, 1938 changed hands for USD 625.00 (€ 536.62) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Admittedly, works by Eliot Elisofon have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work 3rd Avenue El Stairs, 1937 in December 2011 with an auction result of USD 4,750.00 (€ 3,661.45).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Eliot Elisofon konnte im Oktober 2020 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The Unseen Eye: Photographs from the W.M. Hunt Collection wechselte die Arbeit Untitled, 1938 für USD 625,00 (€ 536,62) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Eliot Elisofon auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit 3rd Avenue El Stairs, 1937 im Dezember 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 4.750,00 (€ 3.661,45).
