Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Benny Andrews could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in April 2012 for an unexpectedly low price. In the American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction, the work Woman changed hands for USD 3,438.00 (€ 2,598.84) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Benny Andrews - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Bath, which sold at auction in May last year for USD 9,450.00 (€ 8,806.26).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Benny Andrews konnte im April 2012 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture wechselte die Arbeit Woman für USD 3.438,00 (€ 2.598,84) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Benny Andrews mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Bath beobachtet, die im Mai letzten Jahres für USD 9.450,00 (€ 8.806,26) versteigert wurde.
