The work Self Portrait, New York, 1932 by Lee Miller was auctioned at Christies in New York in May last year. It achieved a price of USD 7,560.00 (€ 7,045.01), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 26%. 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 26 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Self Portrait, New York, 1932 von Lee Miller kam im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 7.560,00 (€ 7.045,01) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 26%. 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).
