Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work American 2 Train, The Crazy Faces Of Blade by Blade was auctioned at Sothebys in Amsterdam in December 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of EUR 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for EUR 9,375.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Blade - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Beyond The Wall, 1984, which sold at auction in February 2008 for EUR 37,176.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit American 2 Train, The Crazy Faces Of Blade von Blade im Dezember 2008 bei Sothebys in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für EUR 9.375,00 den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Blade mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Beyond The Wall, 1984 beobachtet, die im Februar 2008 für EUR 37.176,00 versteigert wurde.
