Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Arshile Gorky could be acquired at Christies in New York in May this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part II auction, the work Untitled (from the Fireplace in Virginia series) changed hands for USD 579,600.00 (€ 544,021.02) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 600,000.00 – 800,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Arshile Gorky achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Charred Beloved I in November this year with an auction result of USD 23,410,000.00 (€ 21,461,312.80).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Arshile Gorky konnte im Mai diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part II wechselte die Arbeit Untitled (from the Fireplace in Virginia series) für USD 579.600,00 (€ 544.021,02) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 600.000,00 – 800.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Arshile Gorky erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Charred Beloved I im November diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 23.410.000,00 (€ 21.461.312,80).
