Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Dick Hickock, murderer; and Perry Smith, murderer, April 1960 by Richard Avedon was sold in the Photographs auction at Christies in New York in September 2014. The result of USD 25,000.00 (€ 19,797.28) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Richard Avedon achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Beatles Portfolio: John Lennon, Ringo Starr, George Harrison and Paul McCartney, London in November last year with an auction result of GBP 809,000.00 (€ 937,446.28).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Dick Hickock, murderer; and Perry Smith, murderer, April 1960 von Richard Avedon wurde im September 2014 in der Auktion Photographs bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 19.797,28) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Richard Avedon erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Beatles Portfolio: John Lennon, Ringo Starr, George Harrison and Paul McCartney, London im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 809.000,00 (€ 937.446,28).
