The work The wreck of the Endurance, November 1, 1915. by Frank Hurley was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2006. It achieved a price of GBP 11,400.00 (€ 16,817.40), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 43%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frank Hurley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Photographs of Scenes and Incidents in connection with the happenings to the Weddell Sea Party 1914, 1915, 1916. in September 2006 with an auction result of GBP 120,000.00 (€ 177,025.30).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 43 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit The wreck of the Endurance, November 1, 1915. von Frank Hurley kam im September 2006 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 11.400,00 (€ 16.817,40) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 43%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frank Hurley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Photographs of Scenes and Incidents in connection with the happenings to the Weddell Sea Party 1914, 1915, 1916. im September 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 120.000,00 (€ 177.025,30).
