Auction result well in line with expectations

In October this year Bonhams in London held the auction Photographs, which included the work 'Nu de la Mer' (Camargue) by Lucien Clergue. The price achieved of USD 2,560.00 (€ 2,422.41) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Admittedly, works by Lucien Clergue have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Nu Zébré I, New York' in November 2015 with an auction result of EUR 12,500.00.

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Oktober diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'Nu de la Mer' (Camargue) von Lucien Clergue zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 2.560,00 (€ 2.422,41) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Lucien Clergue auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Nu Zébré I, New York' im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 12.500,00.
