Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2005 Christies in London held the auction PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE COLLECTION OF JAMES DANZIGER, which included the work Grand Central Station, 1950S by Paul Himmel. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,020.00 (€ 1,505.84) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Paul Himmel - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nude on White Background, 2, 1951, which sold at auction in February 2006 for USD 5,760.00 (€ 4,830.19).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE COLLECTION OF JAMES DANZIGER durch, in der auch die Arbeit Grand Central Station, 1950S von Paul Himmel zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.020,00 (€ 1.505,84) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Paul Himmel mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Nude on White Background, 2, 1951 beobachtet, die im Februar 2006 für USD 5.760,00 (€ 4.830,19) versteigert wurde.
