Auction result misses estimated price range
In May last year a collector was able to acquire the work Relay Station, Ascension Island by Simon Norfolk for GBP 630.00 (€ 741.14). This price was achieved in the auction Photographs at Sothebys in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Simon Norfolk achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Former Teahouse in a park next to the Afghan Exhibition of Economic and Social Achievements in the Shah Shahid district of Kabul in November 2008 with an auction result of GBP 13,750.00 (€ 16,624.78).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Mai letzten Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Relay Station, Ascension Island von Simon Norfolk für GBP 630,00 (€ 741,14) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Photographs bei Sothebys in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Simon Norfolk erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Former Teahouse in a park next to the Afghan Exhibition of Economic and Social Achievements in the Shah Shahid district of Kabul im November 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 13.750,00 (€ 16.624,78).
