Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work 'Portrait Of The Artist' by Deborah Turbeville was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 2,500.00 (€ 2,206.14). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Deborah Turbeville - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 'Versailles: Seventeen Images', which sold at auction in October 2017 for USD 6,875.00 (€ 5,902.30).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit 'Portrait Of The Artist' von Deborah Turbeville im Oktober 2018 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 2.500,00 (€ 2.206,14) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Deborah Turbeville mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit 'Versailles: Seventeen Images' beobachtet, die im Oktober 2017 für USD 6.875,00 (€ 5.902,30) versteigert wurde.
