Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Evaporation Theory (Early Peas) by Al Taylor was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2017, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 750.00 (€ 701.07). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Al Taylor achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Peabody Group, #9 - 1992 in October last year with an auction result of EUR 40,672.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Evaporation Theory (Early Peas) von Al Taylor im März 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 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 750,00 (€ 701,07) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Al Taylor erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Peabody Group, #9 - 1992 im Oktober letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 40.672,00.
