Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Peter Beard achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in June this year. In the Photographies auction, the work Hunting Cheetahs on the Taru Desert, Kenya (for 'The End of the Game'), June 1960 sold for EUR 18,900.00 - well above the upper estimate of EUR 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Peter Beard achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Orphaned Cheetah Cubs, Mweiga, near Nyeri, Kenya, March 1968 in October 2017 with an auction result of USD 672,500.00 (€ 577,352.34).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Peter Beard erzielte im Juni diesen Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Photographies wurde die Arbeit Hunting Cheetahs on the Taru Desert, Kenya (for 'The End of the Game'), June 1960 für EUR 18.900,00 versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von EUR 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Peter Beard erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Orphaned Cheetah Cubs, Mweiga, near Nyeri, Kenya, March 1968 im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 672.500,00 (€ 577.352,34).
