A top price for Nickolas Muray - as previously expected
In April 2019 Sothebys in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Selected Images Including Portraits Of Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera And Miguel Covarrubias by Nickolas Muray. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 35,000.00 (€ 31,247.21) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Selected Images Including Portraits Of Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera And Miguel Covarrubias is the most expensive artwork by Nickolas Muray that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im April 2019 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Selected Images Including Portraits Of Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera And Miguel Covarrubias von Nickolas Muray zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 35.000,00 (€ 31.247,21) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Selected Images Including Portraits Of Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera And Miguel Covarrubias das teuerste Kunstwerk von Nickolas Muray, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
