Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Andy Warhol could be acquired at Christies in New York in November 2012 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Andy Warhol at Christie's Sold to Benefit the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts auction, the work Unknown Female changed hands for USD 18,750.00 (€ 14,411.99) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. 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 2012 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Andy Warhol at Christie's Sold to Benefit the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts wechselte die Arbeit Unknown Female für USD 18.750,00 (€ 14.411,99) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00. 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).
