Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Iris by Carl Paul Jennewein was auctioned at Phillips in New York in December 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 37,800.00 (€ 30,907.60). Other works by Carl Paul Jennewein have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in November 2007 by the work 'Cupid and Crane' at USD 79,000.00 (€ 53,785.40).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Iris von Carl Paul Jennewein im Dezember 2020 bei Phillips in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 37.800,00 (€ 30.907,60) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Carl Paul Jennewein wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im November 2007 die Arbeit 'Cupid and Crane' mit USD 79.000,00 (€ 53.785,40).
