Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Swampland Catamount; The Toad; Giraffe; The Pet Lion; First Excursion; The Black Bull (a group of six) by Darrel Austin was auctioned at Bonhams in Los Angeles in December 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,275.00 (€ 1,042.52). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Darrel Austin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Spring in November 2020 with an auction result of USD 16,562.50 (€ 13,862.15).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Swampland Catamount; The Toad; Giraffe; The Pet Lion; First Excursion; The Black Bull (a group of six) von Darrel Austin im Dezember 2020 bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.275,00 (€ 1.042,52) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Darrel Austin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Spring im November 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 16.562,50 (€ 13.862,15).
