Upper estimate price exceeded by 31 %.
In May 2002 Christies in London held the auction Photographs, which included the work Upper Egypt and Ethiopia by Francis Frith. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,629.00 (€ 4,117.05), 31% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francis Frith achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Egypt, Palestine & Nubia in May 2004 with an auction result of GBP 31,070.00 (€ 46,616.44).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 31 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Upper Egypt and Ethiopia von Francis Frith zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.629,00 (€ 4.117,05) und damit 31% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francis Frith erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Egypt, Palestine & Nubia im Mai 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 31.070,00 (€ 46.616,44).
