Auction result well in line with expectations
In April last year Christies in New York held the auction Photographs from the Richard Gere Collection, which included the work Circumnavigation of the Blood, 1950 by Frederick Sommer. The price achieved of USD 8,190.00 (€ 7,772.61) 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 Frederick Sommer have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work 'Livia' in October 2020 with an auction result of USD 69,300.00 (€ 59,500.30).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Photographs from the Richard Gere Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Circumnavigation of the Blood, 1950 von Frederick Sommer zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 8.190,00 (€ 7.772,61) 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 Frederick Sommer auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit 'Livia' im Oktober 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 69.300,00 (€ 59.500,30).
