Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Kneeling Dancer (Dancing Figure) by Elie Nadelman was auctioned at Christies in New York in August 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 350,000.00 – 550,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 250,000.00 (€ 209,450.40). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Elie Nadelman - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Horse, which sold at auction in May 2012 for USD 842,500.00 (€ 681,413.78).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Kneeling Dancer (Dancing Figure) von Elie Nadelman im August 2020 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 350.000,00 – 550.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 250.000,00 (€ 209.450,40) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Elie Nadelman mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Horse beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für USD 842.500,00 (€ 681.413,78) versteigert wurde.
