This artwork by Frank Hurley achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in April 2007. In the Photographs auction, the work The Low Sun after the Winter Night (S.Y. Endurance in the Weddell Sea), 1915 sold for USD 90,000.00 (€ 65,885.80) - well above the upper estimate of USD 35,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Frank Hurley - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Photographs of Scenes and Incidents in connection with the happenings to the Weddell Sea Party 1914, 1915, 1916., which sold at auction in September 2006 for GBP 120,000.00 (€ 177,025.30).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Frank Hurley erzielte im April 2007 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Photographs wurde die Arbeit The Low Sun after the Winter Night (S.Y. Endurance in the Weddell Sea), 1915 für USD 90.000,00 (€ 65.885,80) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 35.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Frank Hurley mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Photographs of Scenes and Incidents in connection with the happenings to the Weddell Sea Party 1914, 1915, 1916. beobachtet, die im September 2006 für GBP 120.000,00 (€ 177.025,30) versteigert wurde.
