Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Trace Painting #18 by Clay Ketter was auctioned at Christies in New York in December last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,134.00 (€ 1,060.01). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Clay Ketter achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work T.P. 181 '98 in September 2010 with an auction result of USD 23,750.00 (€ 17,461.95).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Trace Painting #18 von Clay Ketter im Dezember 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 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.134,00 (€ 1.060,01) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Clay Ketter erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit T.P. 181 '98 im September 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 23.750,00 (€ 17.461,95).
