Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Joel-Peter Witkin could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in April 2020 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Photographs auction, the work 'Songs Of Innocence' changed hands for USD 3,000.00 (€ 2,738.48) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joel-Peter Witkin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Kiss in April 2000 with an auction result of USD 35,250.00 (€ 38,783.14).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Joel-Peter Witkin konnte im April 2020 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Photographs wechselte die Arbeit 'Songs Of Innocence' für USD 3.000,00 (€ 2.738,48) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joel-Peter Witkin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Kiss im April 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 35.250,00 (€ 38.783,14).
