Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work History of Missiles #3 by Charles Gaines was auctioned at Christies in New York in September last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 18,000.00 – 25,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 17,000.00 (€ 17,377.08). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Gaines achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Numbers And Trees: Central Park Series Iv: Tree #6, Carmichael in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 475,000.00 (€ 426,047.18).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit History of Missiles #3 von Charles Gaines im September letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 18.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 17.000,00 (€ 17.377,08) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Gaines erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Numbers And Trees: Central Park Series Iv: Tree #6, Carmichael im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 475.000,00 (€ 426.047,18).
