Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Wittgenstein at the Cinema Admires Betty Grable by Eduardo Paolozzi was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in December 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 800.00 – 1,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 630.00 (€ 556.64). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Eduardo Paolozzi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Table Sculpture (Growth) in June 2007 with an auction result of GBP 120,000.00 (€ 178,073.96).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Wittgenstein at the Cinema Admires Betty Grable von Eduardo Paolozzi im Dezember 2021 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 800,00 – 1.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 630,00 (€ 556,64) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Eduardo Paolozzi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Table Sculpture (Growth) im Juni 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 120.000,00 (€ 178.073,96).
