Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Tabletop With Musical Instruments by Charles Alfred Meurer was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 5,500.00 (€ 4,853.51). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles Alfred Meurer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Still Life with Money, Pipe and Letters, which sold at auction in March 2004 for USD 22,705.00 (€ 18,471.36).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Tabletop With Musical Instruments von Charles Alfred Meurer im Oktober 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 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 5.500,00 (€ 4.853,51) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Charles Alfred Meurer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Still Life with Money, Pipe and Letters beobachtet, die im März 2004 für USD 22.705,00 (€ 18.471,36) versteigert wurde.
