Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Hook and Eye by Alan Turner was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2005, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 100.00 – 200.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 60.00 (€ 49.76). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alan Turner achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work In a Blue Habit in September 2017 with an auction result of USD 5,250.00 (€ 4,444.26).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Hook and Eye von Alan Turner im September 2005 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 100,00 – 200,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 60,00 (€ 49,76) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alan Turner erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit In a Blue Habit im September 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.250,00 (€ 4.444,26).
