In July this year Bonhams in London held the auction Photographs Now The Collector's Edition, which included the work Times Square: The Night Fantastic by Lillian Bassman. The »bidding war« ended at USD 3,520.00 (€ 3,194.19), 41% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lillian Bassman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Across the Restaurant, Barbara Mullen, dress by Jacques Fath, Le Grand Vefour, Paris in April 2016 with an auction result of USD 50,000.00 (€ 43,702.47).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 41 % übertroffen
Im Juli diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Photographs Now The Collector's Edition durch, in der auch die Arbeit Times Square: The Night Fantastic von Lillian Bassman zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 3.520,00 (€ 3.194,19) und damit 41% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lillian Bassman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Across the Restaurant, Barbara Mullen, dress by Jacques Fath, Le Grand Vefour, Paris im April 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 43.702,47).
