Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Ellen Berkenbilt could be acquired at Christies in New York in October 2018 for an unexpectedly low price. In the The Collection of Melva Bucksbaum: Post-War and Contemporary Art, Photographs and Prints auction, the work Giraffe with Lantern changed hands for USD 500.00 (€ 441.23) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 600.00 – 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ellen Berkenbilt achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nite Vibe in June this year with an auction result of GBP 40,640.00 (€ 47,297.96).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Ellen Berkenbilt konnte im Oktober 2018 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The Collection of Melva Bucksbaum: Post-War and Contemporary Art, Photographs and Prints wechselte die Arbeit Giraffe with Lantern für USD 500,00 (€ 441,23) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 600,00 – 800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ellen Berkenbilt erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nite Vibe im Juni diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 40.640,00 (€ 47.297,96).
