Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Cimabue Restoration from BAM II by Christian Eckart was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2006, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 250.00 – 350.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 60.00 (€ 47.29). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Christian Eckart achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work White Painting #615 in December 2012 with an auction result of GBP 17,500.00 (€ 21,582.36).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Cimabue Restoration from BAM II von Christian Eckart im September 2006 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 250,00 – 350,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 60,00 (€ 47,29) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Christian Eckart erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit White Painting #615 im Dezember 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 17.500,00 (€ 21.582,36).
