LUCIEN HERVE
Autoportrait - Paris
Gelatin silver print. 1947. Signed, titled, dated and annotated 3732-LUH in pencil on the verso.
2 5/8 x 1 7/8 in. (6.7 x 4.7 cm.)

Auction result well in line with expectations

In May 2001 Christies in London held the auction PHOTOGRAPHS, which included the work Autoportrait - Paris by Lucien Hervé. The price achieved of GBP 940.00 (€ 1,575.93) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lucien Hervé - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Three Gelatin Silver Prints, Circa 1955, which sold at auction in June 2007 for USD 6,000.00 (€ 4,437.87).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Mai 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion PHOTOGRAPHS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Autoportrait - Paris von Lucien Hervé zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 940,00 (€ 1.575,93) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Lucien Hervé mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Three Gelatin Silver Prints, Circa 1955 beobachtet, die im Juni 2007 für USD 6.000,00 (€ 4.437,87) versteigert wurde.
