Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work All I Want Is Not To Know What I Didn'T Know Then by Charming Baker was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in December 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 4,000.00 (€ 3,562.84). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charming Baker achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nine works: i) All I Want Can Only Be Accomplished By Ignoring What You Need (black); ii) All I Want Is For Times To Change Until I Hit Some Good Ones (black); iii) All I Want Is For You Not To Speak Unless You Can Improve On The Silence (black); iv) in April 2019 with an auction result of GBP 50,000.00 (€ 58,164.4
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit All I Want Is Not To Know What I Didn'T Know Then von Charming Baker im Dezember 2019 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 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 4.000,00 (€ 3.562,84) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charming Baker erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nine works: i) All I Want Can Only Be Accomplished By Ignoring What You Need (black); ii) All I Want Is For Times To Change Until I Hit Some Good Ones (black); iii) All I Want Is For You Not To Speak Unless You Can Improve On The Silence (black); iv) im April 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 50.000,00 (€ 58.164,45).
