The work Man in Rain, West 88th Street, New York City by Ruth Orkin was sold in the The Gift of Photographs auction at Bonhams in December last year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 2,422.50 (€ 2,264.44), 62% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ruth Orkin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work American Girl in Florence, Italy in February 2021 with an auction result of USD 52,812.50 (€ 43,671.96).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 62 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Man in Rain, West 88th Street, New York City von Ruth Orkin wurde im Dezember letzten Jahres in der Auktion The Gift of Photographs bei Bonhams versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 2.422,50 (€ 2.264,44) und damit 62% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ruth Orkin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit American Girl in Florence, Italy im Februar 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 52.812,50 (€ 43.671,96).
