Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Byron Browne could be acquired at Christies in New York in July 2016 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Living With Art auction, the work Clown changed hands for USD 2,500.00 (€ 2,238.54) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Byron Browne achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Classical Still Life in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 162,500.00 (€ 143,513.20).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Byron Browne konnte im Juli 2016 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Living With Art wechselte die Arbeit Clown für USD 2.500,00 (€ 2.238,54) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Byron Browne erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Classical Still Life im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 162.500,00 (€ 143.513,20).
