Auction result misses estimated price range
In March last year a collector was able to acquire the work 'Two Forms' by Ruth Bernhard for USD 1,890.00 (€ 1,703.78). This price was achieved in the auction Modern Discoveries at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ruth Bernhard achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'Ruth Bernhard' in October 2007 with an auction result of USD 37,000.00 (€ 25,573.68).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im März letzten Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit 'Two Forms' von Ruth Bernhard für USD 1.890,00 (€ 1.703,78) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Modern Discoveries bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ruth Bernhard erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'Ruth Bernhard' im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 37.000,00 (€ 25.573,68).
