Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Maquette For "Atrium Column" (Israeli Embassy, Washington, D.C.) by Buky Schwartz was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 800.00 – 1,200.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 500.00 (€ 448.23). Admittedly, works by Buky Schwartz have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work House In Motion: In Four Parts in December 2017 with an auction result of USD 5,250.00 (€ 4,366.99).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Maquette For "Atrium Column" (Israeli Embassy, Washington, D.C.) von Buky Schwartz im Oktober 2019 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 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 500,00 (€ 448,23) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Buky Schwartz auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit House In Motion: In Four Parts im Dezember 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.250,00 (€ 4.366,99).
