Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by August von Pettenkofen could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in October 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the The European Art Sale auction, the work A Thoughtful Pause changed hands for USD 1,890.00 (€ 1,636.08) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by August von Pettenkofen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Niederostereichisher Bauernhaus: Austrian Farmhouse in April 2008 with an auction result of EUR 29,050.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von August von Pettenkofen konnte im Oktober 2021 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The European Art Sale wechselte die Arbeit A Thoughtful Pause für USD 1.890,00 (€ 1.636,08) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von August von Pettenkofen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Niederostereichisher Bauernhaus: Austrian Farmhouse im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 29.050,00.
