Auction result misses estimated price range
In October 2001 a collector was able to acquire the work Times Square 1940: A Paper Movie by Lou Stoumen for USD 6,462.50 (€ 7,186.14). This price was achieved in the auction Photographs at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 8,000.00 – 10,000.00 set by the auction house. Other works by Lou Stoumen have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in October 2010 by the work Forty Years: Lou Stoumen at USD 10,000.00 (€ 7,197.35).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Oktober 2001 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Times Square 1940: A Paper Movie von Lou Stoumen für USD 6.462,50 (€ 7.186,14) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Photographs bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 8.000,00 – 10.000,00. Andere Arbeiten von Lou Stoumen wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Oktober 2010 die Arbeit Forty Years: Lou Stoumen mit USD 10.000,00 (€ 7.197,35).
