Auction result misses estimated price range
In October 2019 a collector was able to acquire the work Portfolio Ii by Ralph Steiner for USD 7,500.00 (€ 6,723.44). This price was achieved in the auction Classic Photographs at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ralph Steiner - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled, New York, 1925, which sold at auction in April 2013 for USD 25,000.00 (€ 18,985.42).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Oktober 2019 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Portfolio Ii von Ralph Steiner für USD 7.500,00 (€ 6.723,44) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Classic Photographs bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Ralph Steiner mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled, New York, 1925 beobachtet, die im April 2013 für USD 25.000,00 (€ 18.985,42) versteigert wurde.
