Artwork auctioned at 16 times the upper estimate price

When the work Audrey Hepburn and Mr. Famous on the set of the 1957 Allied Artists production Love in the Afternoon, Paris, 1957 by Sam Shaw was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 500 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 8,125 (€ 9,218). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Sam Shaw; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot sold at auction in September 2017 with the realized price of GBP 10,625 (€ 12,054).

Kunstwerk zum 16-fachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Audrey Hepburn and Mr. Famous on the set of the 1957 Allied Artists production Love in the Afternoon, Paris, 1957 von Sam Shaw im September 2017 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 500 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 8.125 (€ 9.218) mehr als 16-mal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Sam Shaw; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit im September 2017 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 10.625 (€ 12.054).
