Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Andy Warhol could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in November 2008 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Contemporary Art Day Sale auction, the work Self-Portrait changed hands for USD 518,500.00 (€ 408,460.69) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 800,000.00 – 1,200,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Andy Warhol achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Shot Sage Blue Marilyn in May last year with an auction result of USD 195,040,000.00 (€ 181,753,797.41).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Andy Warhol konnte im November 2008 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Contemporary Art Day Sale wechselte die Arbeit Self-Portrait für USD 518.500,00 (€ 408.460,69) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 800.000,00 – 1.200.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Andy Warhol erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Shot Sage Blue Marilyn im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 195.040.000,00 (€ 181.753.797,41).
