Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Afghan Girl by Steve McCurry was sold in the Photographs auction at Bonhams in New York in April last year. The price achieved of USD 15,300.00 (€ 14,520.26) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Steve McCurry - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Blue City, Jodhpur, India, 2010, which sold at auction in November 2018 for INR 3,750,000.00 (€ 47,359.36).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Afghan Girl von Steve McCurry wurde im April letzten Jahres in der Auktion Photographs bei Bonhams in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 15.300,00 (€ 14.520,26) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Steve McCurry mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Blue City, Jodhpur, India, 2010 beobachtet, die im November 2018 für INR 3.750.000,00 (€ 47.359,36) versteigert wurde.
