Auction result well in line with expectations
In February this year Bonhams held the auction Masters of PhotographyFrom Edward S. Curtis to Berenice Abbott, which included the work Ali Underwater by Flip Schulke. The price achieved of USD 7,650.00 (€ 7,215.62) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 6,000.00 – 9,000.00. Admittedly, works by Flip Schulke have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Muhammad Ali Boxing Underwater in November 2008 with an auction result of GBP 37,250.00 (€ 45,038.05).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Februar diesen Jahres führte Bonhams die Auktion Masters of PhotographyFrom Edward S. Curtis to Berenice Abbott durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ali Underwater von Flip Schulke zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 7.650,00 (€ 7.215,62) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 6.000,00 – 9.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Flip Schulke auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Muhammad Ali Boxing Underwater im November 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 37.250,00 (€ 45.038,05).
