Despite a disappointment, a good price for Godfrey Frankel
This work of art by Godfrey Frankel could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in October 2019 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Classic Photographs auction, the work Washington (Child At Lamp Post) changed hands for USD 3,750.00 (€ 3,361.72) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Despite this disappointing result, Washington (Child At Lamp Post) is the most expensive artwork by Godfrey Frankel that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Godfrey Frankel
Dieses Kunstwerk von Godfrey Frankel konnte im Oktober 2019 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Classic Photographs wechselte die Arbeit Washington (Child At Lamp Post) für USD 3.750,00 (€ 3.361,72) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Washington (Child At Lamp Post) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Godfrey Frankel, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
