Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work New York From The Empire State Building (Night And Day) by Todd Webb was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in August 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,912.50 (€ 1,620.76). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Todd Webb achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sixth Avenue between 43rd and 44th Streets, New York in April 2021 with an auction result of USD 37,800.00 (€ 31,421.45).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit New York From The Empire State Building (Night And Day) von Todd Webb im August 2021 bei Bonhams in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.912,50 (€ 1.620,76) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Todd Webb erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sixth Avenue between 43rd and 44th Streets, New York im April 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 37.800,00 (€ 31.421,45).
