Auction result misses estimated price range

In December 2020 a collector was able to acquire the work Five sketches of dresses by Bill Blass for USD 1,000.00 (€ 817.66). This price was achieved in the auction American Muse: The Collection of Nina Griscom at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Bill Blass have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portfolio Of 80 Rough Marker Sketches On Tracing Paper in April 2015 with an auction result of USD 6,250.00 (€ 5,599.35).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Dezember 2020 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Five sketches of dresses von Bill Blass für USD 1.000,00 (€ 817,66) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion American Muse: The Collection of Nina Griscom bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Bill Blass auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portfolio Of 80 Rough Marker Sketches On Tracing Paper im April 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.250,00 (€ 5.599,35).
