Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The Dream of the Artist by Chema Cobo was auctioned at Christies in New York in July 2015, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 2,000.00 (€ 1,813.57). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Chema Cobo - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Selfmade Portrait, which sold at auction in October 2006 for USD 4,800.00 (€ 3,757.93).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The Dream of the Artist von Chema Cobo im Juli 2015 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 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 2.000,00 (€ 1.813,57) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Chema Cobo mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Selfmade Portrait beobachtet, die im Oktober 2006 für USD 4.800,00 (€ 3.757,93) versteigert wurde.
