Auction result well in line with expectations
In December last year Bonhams held the auction The Gift of Photographs, which included the work James Dean, Walking on 68th Street, New York by Roy Schatt. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,530.00 (€ 1,430.17) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Roy Schatt - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work James Dean, 1954, which sold at auction in June 2007 for GBP 3,600.00 (€ 5,342.22).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember letzten Jahres führte Bonhams die Auktion The Gift of Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit James Dean, Walking on 68th Street, New York von Roy Schatt zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 1.530,00 (€ 1.430,17) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Roy Schatt mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit James Dean, 1954 beobachtet, die im Juni 2007 für GBP 3.600,00 (€ 5.342,22) versteigert wurde.
