Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Means to the End by Adam Helms was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 4,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 2,520.00 (€ 2,960.35). Admittedly, works by Adam Helms have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 Means to the End von Adam Helms im März 2021 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 4.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 2.520,00 (€ 2.960,35) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Adam Helms auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Untitled Portrait (10) im September 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 18.750,00 (€ 14.847,96).
