Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A Brief History of an Afternoon by Bo Bartlett was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 47,880.00 (€ 43,162.35). Admittedly, works by Bo Bartlett have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Hurtsboro in May 2021 with an auction result of USD 226,800.00 (€ 185,993.11).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A Brief History of an Afternoon von Bo Bartlett im März letzten Jahres 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 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 47.880,00 (€ 43.162,35) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Bo Bartlett auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Hurtsboro im Mai 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 226.800,00 (€ 185.993,11).
