Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Indoctrination #2 by Adam Helms was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2017, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 625.00 (€ 529.08). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Adam Helms achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled Portrait (10) in September 2014 with an auction result of USD 18,750.00 (€ 14,847.96).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Indoctrination #2 von Adam Helms im September 2017 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 625,00 (€ 529,08) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Adam Helms erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled Portrait (10) im September 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 18.750,00 (€ 14.847,96).
