Sold at the lower estimate price
In November 2011 Christies in London held the auction Photographs, which included the work Portrait of Irving Penn, September 1944 by John Rawlings. The result of GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,167.40) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Rawlings - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Arched Nude, circa 1960, which sold at auction in December 2008 for USD 6,000.00 (€ 4,310.65).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im November 2011 führte Christies in London die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Irving Penn, September 1944 von John Rawlings zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 1.000,00 (€ 1.167,40) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Für andere Arbeiten von John Rawlings mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Arched Nude, circa 1960 beobachtet, die im Dezember 2008 für USD 6.000,00 (€ 4.310,65) versteigert wurde.
