Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Exit; Isle le Block; and Etching for Denial by Bill Jensen was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 700.00 – 1,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 437.50 (€ 307.69). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bill Jensen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Givers and Takers in July 2019 with an auction result of USD 9,375.00 (€ 8,423.18).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Exit; Isle le Block; and Etching for Denial von Bill Jensen im September 2007 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 700,00 – 1.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 437,50 (€ 307,69) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bill Jensen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Givers and Takers im Juli 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 9.375,00 (€ 8.423,18).
