Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2019 Christies in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Portrait of Sonia Delaunay, 1931 by Florence Henri. The price achieved of USD 9,375.00 (€ 8,404.30) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Florence Henri - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Composition (bobbins and mirrors), 1928, which sold at auction in May 2008 for GBP 24,500.00 (€ 31,165.07).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2019 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Sonia Delaunay, 1931 von Florence Henri zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 9.375,00 (€ 8.404,30) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Florence Henri mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Composition (bobbins and mirrors), 1928 beobachtet, die im Mai 2008 für GBP 24.500,00 (€ 31.165,07) versteigert wurde.
