Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2020 Phillips in London held the auction Photographs, which included the work St. Petersburg State Ballet by Inge Morath. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 2,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,250.00 (€ 1,378.33) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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 September 2020 führte Phillips in London die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit St. Petersburg State Ballet von Inge Morath zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.250,00 (€ 1.378,33) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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.
