Auction result misses estimated price range
In June 2010 a collector was able to acquire the work Selected Photographs by Laura Gilpin for USD 3,125.00 (€ 2,542.51). This price was achieved in the auction Photographs from the Polaroid Collection at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Laura Gilpin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'Ranchos Church' in July 2020 with an auction result of USD 31,250.00 (€ 26,541.53).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Juni 2010 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Selected Photographs von Laura Gilpin für USD 3.125,00 (€ 2.542,51) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Photographs from the Polaroid Collection bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Laura Gilpin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'Ranchos Church' im Juli 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 31.250,00 (€ 26.541,53).
