Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Danish in The Auction House by Carl Carlsen was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in February 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 17,500.00 (€ 14,331.34). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Carl Carlsen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work In The Auction House, which sold at auction in November 2015 for USD 60,000.00 (€ 56,807.42).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Danish in The Auction House von Carl Carlsen im Februar 2018 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 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 17.500,00 (€ 14.331,34) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Carl Carlsen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit In The Auction House beobachtet, die im November 2015 für USD 60.000,00 (€ 56.807,42) versteigert wurde.
