Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Cynthia Antonio, Santa Fe, New Mexico; and Maria, Australia, 1990 by Kurt Markus was sold in the The Feminine Ideal: An Important Private Collection of Photographs auction at Christies in New York in April 2011. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 3,500.00 (€ 2,361.51) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kurt Markus - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ranch, Paisley, Oregon, 1981, which sold at auction in May last year for USD 6,930.00 (€ 6,457.93).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Cynthia Antonio, Santa Fe, New Mexico; and Maria, Australia, 1990 von Kurt Markus wurde im April 2011 in der Auktion The Feminine Ideal: An Important Private Collection of Photographs bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 3.500,00 (€ 2.361,51) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Kurt Markus mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Ranch, Paisley, Oregon, 1981 beobachtet, die im Mai letzten Jahres für USD 6.930,00 (€ 6.457,93) versteigert wurde.
