Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Hydra, Greece (Puppy in Window) by Pentti Sammallahti was sold in the The Gift of Photographs auction at Bonhams in New York in December this year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,024.00 (€ 925.69) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Pentti Sammallahti have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work 'Solovki, White Sea, Russia', 1992 in May 2017 with an auction result of GBP 6,875.00 (€ 7,896.22).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Hydra, Greece (Puppy in Window) von Pentti Sammallahti wurde im Dezember diesen Jahres in der Auktion The Gift of Photographs bei Bonhams in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 1.024,00 (€ 925,69) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Pentti Sammallahti auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit 'Solovki, White Sea, Russia', 1992 im Mai 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 6.875,00 (€ 7.896,22).
