Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Roger Fenton achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in February 2007. In the Photographs From The Estate of Thomas T. Solley auction, the work The Valley of the Shadow of Death, 1856 sold for USD 13,200.00 (€ 9,977.32) - well above the upper estimate of USD 5,000.00. 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 Februar 2007 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Photographs From The Estate of Thomas T. Solley wurde die Arbeit The Valley of the Shadow of Death, 1856 für USD 13.200,00 (€ 9.977,32) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 5.000,00. 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).
