Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Toward Union Pleased by Alan Saret was auctioned at Sothebys 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 15,000.00 – 20,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 13,750.00 (€ 11,639.72). Admittedly, works by Alan Saret have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work without title in September last year with an auction result of USD 63,000.00 (€ 64,397.42).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Toward Union Pleased von Alan Saret im September 2017 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 13.750,00 (€ 11.639,72) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Alan Saret auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit ohne Titel im September letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 63.000,00 (€ 64.397,42).
