Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In December 2020 Sothebys in New York held the auction Photographs from the Ginny Williams Collection, which included the work Margaret Bourke-White atop the Chrysler Building by Oscar Graubner. Here, the upper estimate of USD 2,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 2,016.00 (€ 1,648.41). Admittedly, works by Oscar Graubner have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Margaret Bourke-White atop the Chrysler Building (close up) in December 2020 with an auction result of USD 15,120.00 (€ 12,363.04).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Dezember 2020 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Photographs from the Ginny Williams Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Margaret Bourke-White atop the Chrysler Building von Oscar Graubner zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 2.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 2.016,00 (€ 1.648,41) einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Oscar Graubner auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Margaret Bourke-White atop the Chrysler Building (close up) im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 15.120,00 (€ 12.363,04).
