Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work The advance by Adolf Schreyer was auctioned at Bonhams in London in October 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 17,562.50 (€ 19,501.66). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Adolf Schreyer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Chase in April 2005 with an auction result of USD 464,000.00 (€ 359,160.93).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit The advance von Adolf Schreyer im Oktober 2020 bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 17.562,50 (€ 19.501,66) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Adolf Schreyer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Chase im April 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 464.000,00 (€ 359.160,93).
