Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Two Deep Sea Creatures Swim Around the Bathysphere by Else Bostelmann was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 2,250.00 (€ 1,706.36). Other works by Else Bostelmann have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in December 2012 by the work Saber-Toothed Viper Fish at USD 3,000.00 (€ 2,275.14).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Two Deep Sea Creatures Swim Around the Bathysphere von Else Bostelmann im Dezember 2012 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 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 2.250,00 (€ 1.706,36) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Else Bostelmann wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Dezember 2012 die Arbeit Saber-Toothed Viper Fish mit USD 3.000,00 (€ 2.275,14).
