Upper estimate price exceeded by 39 %.

The work Charlie Chaplin with Chandelier, Paris, France, 1931 by Lee Miller was sold in the The Surrealist World of Rosalind Gersten Jacobs and Melvin Jacobs auction at Christies in New York in May last year. It achieved a price of USD 20,790.00 (€ 19,373.78), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 39%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lee Miller achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nude in April 2021 with an auction result of USD 504,000.00 (€ 418,952.62).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 39 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Charlie Chaplin with Chandelier, Paris, France, 1931 von Lee Miller wurde im Mai letzten Jahres in der Auktion The Surrealist World of Rosalind Gersten Jacobs and Melvin Jacobs bei Christies in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 20.790,00 (€ 19.373,78) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 39%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lee Miller erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nude im April 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 504.000,00 (€ 418.952,62).
