Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Roger Fenton achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in November 2011. In the Photographs auction, the work Into the Woods at Bolton Abbey, 1856-1860 sold for GBP 4,375.00 (€ 5,107.36) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Roger Fenton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death' in April 2008 with an auction result of USD 157,000.00 (€ 100,847.89).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Roger Fenton erzielte im November 2011 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Photographs wurde die Arbeit Into the Woods at Bolton Abbey, 1856-1860 für GBP 4.375,00 (€ 5.107,36) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Roger Fenton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death' im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 157.000,00 (€ 100.847,89).
