Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Sharbat Gula, Afghan Girl, Pakistan by Steve McCurry was sold in the Photographs auction at Phillips in London in May last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 10,710.00 (€ 12,599.30) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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 Sharbat Gula, Afghan Girl, Pakistan von Steve McCurry wurde im Mai letzten Jahres in der Auktion Photographs bei Phillips in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 10.710,00 (€ 12.599,30) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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.
