Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In December 2008 Christies in New York held the auction Icons of Glamour and Style: The Constantiner Collection, which included the work First Bikini, Harper's Bazaar, Montego Bay, Jamaica, 1945 by Toni Frissell. Here, the upper estimate of USD 3,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 3,250.00 (€ 2,334.94). Admittedly, works by Toni Frissell have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Weeki Wachee Spring, Florida, 1947 in May 2008 with an auction result of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 15,900.55).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Dezember 2008 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Icons of Glamour and Style: The Constantiner Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit First Bikini, Harper's Bazaar, Montego Bay, Jamaica, 1945 von Toni Frissell zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 3.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 3.250,00 (€ 2.334,94) einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Toni Frissell auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Weeki Wachee Spring, Florida, 1947 im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 15.900,55).
