Despite a disappointment, a good price for Frederick Sommer
In October 2020 a collector was able to acquire the work 'Livia' by Frederick Sommer for USD 69,300.00 (€ 59,500.30). This price was achieved in the auction Classic Photographs at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 70,000.00 – 100,000.00 set by the auction house. Despite this disappointing result, 'Livia' is the most expensive artwork by Frederick Sommer that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Frederick Sommer
Im Oktober 2020 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit 'Livia' von Frederick Sommer für USD 69.300,00 (€ 59.500,30) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Classic Photographs bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 70.000,00 – 100.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist 'Livia' das teuerste Kunstwerk von Frederick Sommer, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
