Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2012 Christies in London held the auction Photographs, which included the work Elizabeth Taylor sunning herself on the set of 'Giant', Marfa, Texas, 1955 by Sid Avery. It changed hands for a price of GBP 1,187.50 (€ 1,476.45) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sid Avery achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Cast of Oceans Eleven; Nick Conti, Jerry Lester, Joey Bishop, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Akim Tameroff, Richard Benedict, Henry Silva, Norman Fell and Clem Harvey in April 2015 with an auction result of USD 17,500.00 (€ 15,678.19).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2012 führte Christies in London die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Elizabeth Taylor sunning herself on the set of 'Giant', Marfa, Texas, 1955 von Sid Avery zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 1.187,50 (€ 1.476,45) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sid Avery erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Cast of Oceans Eleven; Nick Conti, Jerry Lester, Joey Bishop, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Akim Tameroff, Richard Benedict, Henry Silva, Norman Fell and Clem Harvey im April 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 17.500,00 (€ 15.678,19).
