Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by David Humphrey could be acquired at Christies in New York in September 2004 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Post-War and Contemporary Art auction, the work Confusion of Tongues changed hands for USD 2,390.00 (€ 1,924.78) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David Humphrey - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Horsey Love, which sold at auction in June 2018 for GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,238.14).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von David Humphrey konnte im September 2004 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art wechselte die Arbeit Confusion of Tongues für USD 2.390,00 (€ 1.924,78) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von David Humphrey mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Horsey Love beobachtet, die im Juni 2018 für GBP 3.750,00 (€ 4.238,14) versteigert wurde.
