The results from the various owner photography sale at Van Ham in Cologne were generally uneventful. 32 lots were withdrawn from the auction, so I've recalculated the statistical measurements on the reduced totals, as if the missing lots had never been on offer in the first place. Vintage August Sander portraits were the best performers in the sale. Overall, the Total Sale Proceeds missed the estimate by a decent margin. (Van Ham does not provide an estimate range in most cases, just a single estimate number, so this figure is used as the High estimate in our calculations).The summary statistics are below (all results include the buyer’s premium):
Total Lots: 259
Pre Sale High Total Estimate: 445750€
Total Lots Sold: 180
Total Lots Bought In: 79
Buy In %: 30.50%
Total Sale Proceeds: 364338€
