Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2009 Christies in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Saul Steinberg, 1960 by Inge Morath. The price achieved of USD 2,500.00 (€ 1,744.35) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Inge Morath - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Mrs Eveleigh Nash with her chauffeur, at Buckingham Palace Mall, 1953, which sold at auction in May 2010 for GBP 4,375.00 (€ 5,125.92).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2009 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Saul Steinberg, 1960 von Inge Morath zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 2.500,00 (€ 1.744,35) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Inge Morath mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Mrs Eveleigh Nash with her chauffeur, at Buckingham Palace Mall, 1953 beobachtet, die im Mai 2010 für GBP 4.375,00 (€ 5.125,92) versteigert wurde.
