Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2011 Christies in New York held the auction Photographs Including Crossing America: Photographs from The Consolidated Freightways Collection, Part II, which included the work Shoe Shines, New York City, 1945-1948 by Morris Engel. The price achieved of USD 3,750.00 (€ 2,890.62) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Admittedly, works by Morris Engel have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Harlem Merchant, New York, 1937 in October 2007 with an auction result of USD 20,000.00 (€ 13,823.61).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2011 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Photographs Including Crossing America: Photographs from The Consolidated Freightways Collection, Part II durch, in der auch die Arbeit Shoe Shines, New York City, 1945-1948 von Morris Engel zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.750,00 (€ 2.890,62) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Morris Engel auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Harlem Merchant, New York, 1937 im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 20.000,00 (€ 13.823,61).
