Even with more than a dozen positive surprises, the results from the photographs sale at Swann last week were largely uneventful. The top lot Helmut Newton print found a buyer within its estimate range and the overall Buy-In rate hovered in the mid-thirties, neither strong nor particularly weak. Softness in the higher priced lots ultimately dragged the numbers down a bit, with the Total Sale Proceeds (of roughly $975K) falling below the low end of the aggregate pre-sale estimate range....

This sale represents the last group of photographs from the collection of Ginny Williams (the results from the previous sales can be found here and here.) This portion of the sale at Sotheby’s was sold without reserve (as was the previous online only selection), and so while the Buy-In rate for photography was zero, the results were still decently uneven. Roughly 45% of the lots that sold did so under their estimate ranges, but there were enough positive surprises to provide some positive counterweight, helping to push the Total Sale Proceeds to the middle of the aggregate pre-sale estimate range....

The volume strategy employed by Heritage at its recent photography auction largely had the expected results. On the positive side, the Total Sale Proceeds crossed $1M. On the negative side, that outcome was engineered with a 40+% Buy-In rate and more than half the lots that did sell finding buyers below their pre-sale estimate ranges. With prices generally low to start with, there were plenty of positive surprises when the bidding was more spirited. Overall, the Total Sale Proceeds missed the low end of the pre-sale range by a decent margin – and whether that is deemed a success somewhat depends ... Read more at Collector Daily.
