Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2010 Christies in London held the auction Photobooks, which included the work Dorchester Days. Wollaston, Massachusetts: Many Voices Press, 1978. by Eugene Richards. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 700.00 – 1,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 750.00 (€ 878.73) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Eugene Richards have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Grandmother, Brooklyn, New York in November 2021 with an auction result of GBP 5,670.00 (€ 6,657.11).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Photobooks durch, in der auch die Arbeit Dorchester Days. Wollaston, Massachusetts: Many Voices Press, 1978. von Eugene Richards zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 700,00 – 1.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 750,00 (€ 878,73) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Eugene Richards auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Grandmother, Brooklyn, New York im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.670,00 (€ 6.657,11).
