Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Flowers In A Terracotta Pot by Béla Adalbert Czóbel was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in February 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 18,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 58,000.00 (€ 38,190.56). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Béla Adalbert Czóbel; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Plant In A Green Pot sold at auction in February 2008 with the realized price of USD 79,000.00 (€ 52,018.17).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Flowers In A Terracotta Pot von Béla Adalbert Czóbel im Februar 2008 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 18.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 58.000,00 (€ 38.190,56) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Béla Adalbert Czóbel; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Plant In A Green Pot im Februar 2008 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 79.000,00 (€ 52.018,17).
