Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2018 Christies in New York held the auction An American Journey: The Diann G. and Thomas A. Mann Collection of Photographic Masterworks, which included the work Nude Descending Staircase, 1949 by Gjon Mili. The price achieved of USD 6,875.00 (€ 6,066.89) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gjon Mili - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Picasso Space Drawings, France, 1949, which sold at auction in October 2005 for USD 22,800.00 (€ 19,007.92).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2018 führte Christies in New York die Auktion An American Journey: The Diann G. and Thomas A. Mann Collection of Photographic Masterworks durch, in der auch die Arbeit Nude Descending Staircase, 1949 von Gjon Mili zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 6.875,00 (€ 6.066,89) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Gjon Mili mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Picasso Space Drawings, France, 1949 beobachtet, die im Oktober 2005 für USD 22.800,00 (€ 19.007,92) versteigert wurde.
