Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Sweet Pea, 'Circa' 1960 by Bernard Langlais was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in July 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,000.00 – 2,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 625.00 (€ 533.91). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bernard Langlais - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Honkey Tonkey, which sold at auction in April 2010 for USD 2,000.00 (€ 1,503.53).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Sweet Pea, 'Circa' 1960 von Bernard Langlais im Juli 2018 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 1.000,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 625,00 (€ 533,91) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Bernard Langlais mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Honkey Tonkey beobachtet, die im April 2010 für USD 2.000,00 (€ 1.503,53) versteigert wurde.
