Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Eliot Porter could be acquired at Christies in New York in July 2018 for an unexpectedly low price. In the MoMA: Tracing Photography's History auction, the work Chama River, New Mexico, 1940 changed hands for USD 3,250.00 (€ 2,776.35) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Eliot Porter achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Trees, 1958-1975 in April 2008 with an auction result of USD 46,600.00 (€ 29,933.20).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Eliot Porter konnte im Juli 2018 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion MoMA: Tracing Photography's History wechselte die Arbeit Chama River, New Mexico, 1940 für USD 3.250,00 (€ 2.776,35) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Eliot Porter erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Trees, 1958-1975 im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 46.600,00 (€ 29.933,20).
