Auction result misses estimated price range

When this work without title by Charles Benefiel was auctioned at Christies in January this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,000.00 – 4,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 504.00 (€ 464.17). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Benefiel achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Hygienic Toys 2, 1995 in January 2017 with an auction result of USD 8,750.00 (€ 8,106.36).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Charles Benefiel im Januar diesen Jahres bei Christies versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.000,00 – 4.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 504,00 (€ 464,17) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Benefiel erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Hygienic Toys 2, 1995 im Januar 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 8.750,00 (€ 8.106,36).
