Auction result misses estimated price range

In November 2017 a collector was able to acquire the work Water lilies’ basin, Giverny, 1926 by Nickolas Muray for HKD 10,000.00 (€ 1,076.65). This price was achieved in the auction Dear Monsieur Monet at Christies in Hong Kong and was even below the estimate range of HKD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00 set by the auction house. 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im November 2017 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Water lilies’ basin, Giverny, 1926 von Nickolas Muray für HKD 10.000,00 (€ 1.076,65) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Dear Monsieur Monet bei Christies in Hong Kong erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00. 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).
