Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Conrad Kiesel could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in October 2019 for an unexpectedly low price. In the European Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction, the work Le Billet Doux changed hands for USD 4,750.00 (€ 4,258.18) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Conrad Kiesel achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Mandolin Player in December 2003 with an auction result of GBP 106,050.00 (€ 150,205.93).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Conrad Kiesel konnte im Oktober 2019 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion European Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture wechselte die Arbeit Le Billet Doux für USD 4.750,00 (€ 4.258,18) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Conrad Kiesel erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Mandolin Player im Dezember 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 106.050,00 (€ 150.205,93).
