Upper estimate price exceeded by 89 %.
This artwork by Margaret Bourke-White achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in April last year. In the Photographs auction, the work Parachute sold for USD 22,680.00 (€ 21,524.15) - well above the upper estimate of USD 12,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 89 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Margaret Bourke-White erzielte im April letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Photographs wurde die Arbeit Parachute für USD 22.680,00 (€ 21.524,15) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 12.000,00. 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).
