Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Plug-In-City, 2000, 2003 by Alain Bublex was auctioned at Artcurial in Paris in October 2009, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of EUR 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for EUR 7,650.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alain Bublex - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Plug-In-City -(2000), Eiffel-1, 2003, which sold at auction in October 2009 for EUR 20,985.00.

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Plug-In-City, 2000, 2003 von Alain Bublex im Oktober 2009 bei Artcurial in Paris versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für EUR 7.650,00 den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Alain Bublex mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Plug-In-City -(2000), Eiffel-1, 2003 beobachtet, die im Oktober 2009 für EUR 20.985,00 versteigert wurde.
