Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Two Cherries by Don Brown was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in December 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,250.00 (€ 1,113.39). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Don Brown achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Yoko XVI - 2006 in June this year with an auction result of EUR 39,360.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Two Cherries von Don Brown im Dezember 2019 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 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.250,00 (€ 1.113,39) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Don Brown erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Yoko XVI - 2006 im Juni diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 39.360,00.
