Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Children Playing, Mount Casino, c. 1948; Two Boys on Staircase, Vienna, 1947; and Children Playing, Venice, 1948 by David Seymour was auctioned at Christies in New York in February 2007. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 2,160.00 (€ 1,632.65) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David Seymour - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Prostitute near the Krupp works, West Germany, Essen, which sold at auction in March 2010 for GBP 5,250.00 (€ 5,894.31).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Children Playing, Mount Casino, c. 1948; Two Boys on Staircase, Vienna, 1947; and Children Playing, Venice, 1948 von David Seymour kam im Februar 2007 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 2.160,00 (€ 1.632,65) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von David Seymour mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Prostitute near the Krupp works, West Germany, Essen beobachtet, die im März 2010 für GBP 5.250,00 (€ 5.894,31) versteigert wurde.
