'GEORGIA O'KEEFFE'
large-format, mounted, signed in ink on the mount, the photographer's credit stamp, with title and date in pencil, on the reverse, 1956, printed later (Karsh, p. 111)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 32 %.

The work 'Georgia O'Keeffe' by Yousuf Karsh was sold in the Photographs auction at Sothebys in New York in April 2017. It achieved a price of USD 11,875.00 (€ 10,899.50), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 32%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yousuf Karsh - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Fifteen Portraits, which sold at auction in April 2013 for USD 50,000.00 (€ 37,970.84).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 32 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit 'Georgia O'Keeffe' von Yousuf Karsh wurde im April 2017 in der Auktion Photographs bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 11.875,00 (€ 10.899,50) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 32%. Für andere Arbeiten von Yousuf Karsh mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Fifteen Portraits beobachtet, die im April 2013 für USD 50.000,00 (€ 37.970,84) versteigert wurde.
