Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In February this year Phillips in an online auction held the auction The Eye That Shapes: Further Selections from the Peter C. Bunnell Collection, which included the work Peeled Paint, Rochester, New York by Minor White. The »bidding war« ended at USD 9,450.00 (€ 8,913.41), 18% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Minor White have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Photographs From 'Sequence 15' in October 2011 with an auction result of USD 62,500.00 (€ 44,812.50).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Februar diesen Jahres führte Phillips in einer Online-Auktion die Auktion The Eye That Shapes: Further Selections from the Peter C. Bunnell Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Peeled Paint, Rochester, New York von Minor White zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 9.450,00 (€ 8.913,41) und damit 18% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Minor White auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Photographs From 'Sequence 15' im Oktober 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 62.500,00 (€ 44.812,50).
