Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Armenian Moonlight On The Mediterranean by Arsene Chabanian was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2009, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 11,875.00 (€ 8,966.32). Other works by Arsene Chabanian have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in February 2007 by the work Coucher De Soleil Sur La Mer, 1898 at EUR 11,099.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Armenian Moonlight On The Mediterranean von Arsene Chabanian im April 2009 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 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 11.875,00 (€ 8.966,32) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Arsene Chabanian wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Februar 2007 die Arbeit Coucher De Soleil Sur La Mer, 1898 mit EUR 11.099,00.
