Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Classic Photographs, which included the work 'Derrick-man who directs and controls the derrick with its great loads, Empire State Building' by Lewis Wickes Hine. Here, the upper estimate of USD 10,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 10,710.00 (€ 9,271.12). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lewis Wickes Hine achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Mechanic And Steam Pump, 1921 in April 2021 with an auction result of USD 275,000.00 (€ 228,595.18).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Classic Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'Derrick-man who directs and controls the derrick with its great loads, Empire State Building' von Lewis Wickes Hine zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 10.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 10.710,00 (€ 9.271,12) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lewis Wickes Hine erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Mechanic And Steam Pump, 1921 im April 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 275.000,00 (€ 228.595,18).
