Auction result well in line with expectations
The work African Negro Art by Walker Evans was sold in the Photographs auction at Christies in New York in April 2014. The price achieved of USD 43,750.00 (€ 31,542.90) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Admittedly, works by Walker Evans have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Penny Picture Display, Savannah in October 2003 with an auction result of USD 197,900.00 (€ 170,471.19).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit African Negro Art von Walker Evans wurde im April 2014 in der Auktion Photographs bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 43.750,00 (€ 31.542,90) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Walker Evans auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Penny Picture Display, Savannah im Oktober 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 197.900,00 (€ 170.471,19).
