Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Cathy As Young Flora by Aaron Shikler was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 18,750.00 (€ 12,765.52). Admittedly, works by Aaron Shikler have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Cathy At Easel in May 2008 with an auction result of USD 85,000.00 (€ 54,627.25).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Cathy As Young Flora von Aaron Shikler im November 2007 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 18.750,00 (€ 12.765,52) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Aaron Shikler auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Cathy At Easel im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 85.000,00 (€ 54.627,25).
