Willy Kessels (1898-1974)
Microphotographie, c. 1930
gelatin silver print
signed, titled in pencil and copyright credit stamps (on the verso)
9 3/8 x 7in. (23.7 x 17.7cm.)

Auction result misses estimated price range

In September 2007 a collector was able to acquire the work Microphotographie, c. 1930 by Willy Kessels for USD 125.00 (€ 87.91). This price was achieved in the auction Photographs at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 600.00 – 900.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Willy Kessels achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sans Titre (Masque) in May 2012 with an auction result of EUR 4,750.00.

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im September 2007 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Microphotographie, c. 1930 von Willy Kessels für USD 125,00 (€ 87,91) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Photographs bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 600,00 – 900,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Willy Kessels erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sans Titre (Masque) im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 4.750,00.
