Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Head by Elie Nadelman was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 30,000.00 (€ 26,494.75). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Elie Nadelman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Horse in May 2012 with an auction result of USD 842,500.00 (€ 681,413.78).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Head von Elie Nadelman im November 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 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 30.000,00 (€ 26.494,75) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Elie Nadelman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Horse im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 842.500,00 (€ 681.413,78).
