Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2019 Phillips in New York held the auction Artist | Icon | Inspiration: Women in Photography Presented with Peter Fetterman, which included the work Untitled (bird sculpture) by Tina Modotti. It changed hands for a price of USD 8,750.00 (€ 7,742.68) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 7,000.00 – 9,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Tina Modotti achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Telephone Wires, Mexico in April 2019 with an auction result of USD 692,000.00 (€ 617,801.98).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2019 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Artist | Icon | Inspiration: Women in Photography Presented with Peter Fetterman durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled (bird sculpture) von Tina Modotti zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 8.750,00 (€ 7.742,68) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 7.000,00 – 9.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Tina Modotti erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Telephone Wires, Mexico im April 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 692.000,00 (€ 617.801,98).
