Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by George Rodger could be acquired at Christies in London in October 2013 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Photographs auction, the work Self-Portraits In Africa, 1940S changed hands for GBP 437.50 (€ 517.12) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Rodger achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Champion of a Korongo Nuba Wrestling Match is Carried Shoulder High, Kordofan, Southern Sudan in May 2010 with an auction result of USD 8,750.00 (€ 7,074.14).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Rodger konnte im Oktober 2013 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Photographs wechselte die Arbeit Self-Portraits In Africa, 1940S für GBP 437,50 (€ 517,12) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Rodger erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Champion of a Korongo Nuba Wrestling Match is Carried Shoulder High, Kordofan, Southern Sudan im Mai 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 8.750,00 (€ 7.074,14).
