Auction result well in line with expectations
In April last year Phillips in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work King Amanullah’s Victory Arch, Paghman Afghanistan by Simon Norfolk. The price achieved of USD 5,040.00 (€ 4,783.15) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Simon Norfolk - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Former Teahouse in a park next to the Afghan Exhibition of Economic and Social Achievements in the Shah Shahid district of Kabul, which sold at auction in November 2008 for GBP 13,750.00 (€ 16,624.78).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April letzten Jahres führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit King Amanullah’s Victory Arch, Paghman Afghanistan von Simon Norfolk zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 5.040,00 (€ 4.783,15) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Simon Norfolk mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Former Teahouse in a park next to the Afghan Exhibition of Economic and Social Achievements in the Shah Shahid district of Kabul beobachtet, die im November 2008 für GBP 13.750,00 (€ 16.624,78) versteigert wurde.
