Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2018 Christies in New York held the auction MoMA: Tracing Photography's History, which included the work Claude Monet, 1926 by Nickolas Muray. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,000.00 – 2,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,125.00 (€ 961.05) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nickolas Muray achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Selected Images Including Portraits Of Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera And Miguel Covarrubias in April 2019 with an auction result of USD 35,000.00 (€ 31,247.21).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2018 führte Christies in New York die Auktion MoMA: Tracing Photography's History durch, in der auch die Arbeit Claude Monet, 1926 von Nickolas Muray zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.000,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 1.125,00 (€ 961,05) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nickolas Muray erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Selected Images Including Portraits Of Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera And Miguel Covarrubias im April 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 35.000,00 (€ 31.247,21).
