Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Waiting Room Conversation by Albert Pels was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2006, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 600.00 (€ 454.65). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Albert Pels - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Riverboat Musicians, which sold at auction in October 2018 for USD 1,700.00 (€ 1,500.18).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Waiting Room Conversation von Albert Pels im Dezember 2006 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 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 600,00 (€ 454,65) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Albert Pels mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Riverboat Musicians beobachtet, die im Oktober 2018 für USD 1.700,00 (€ 1.500,18) versteigert wurde.
