Auction result misses estimated price range
In April 2012 a collector was able to acquire the work 'Churl-Jin Reunited With His Mother In Rice Field' by Margaret Bourke-White for USD 3,438.00 (€ 2,598.84). This price was achieved in the auction Photographs at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Margaret Bourke-White achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Flood Refugees, Louisville, Kentucky in April 2019 with an auction result of USD 400,000.00 (€ 357,110.97).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im April 2012 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit 'Churl-Jin Reunited With His Mother In Rice Field' von Margaret Bourke-White für USD 3.438,00 (€ 2.598,84) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Photographs bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Margaret Bourke-White erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Flood Refugees, Louisville, Kentucky im April 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 400.000,00 (€ 357.110,97).
