Auction result misses estimated price range
In December 2003 a collector was able to acquire the work Well if this doesn't work we'd damn sure better get the net ready by Erich Sokol for USD 2,629.00 (€ 2,087.00). This price was achieved in the auction PLAYBOY AT 50 at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 3,000.00 – 4,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Erich Sokol - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, which sold at auction in December 2003 for USD 9,560.00 (€ 7,589.11).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Dezember 2003 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Well if this doesn't work we'd damn sure better get the net ready von Erich Sokol für USD 2.629,00 (€ 2.087,00) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion PLAYBOY AT 50 bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 3.000,00 – 4.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Erich Sokol mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus beobachtet, die im Dezember 2003 für USD 9.560,00 (€ 7.589,11) versteigert wurde.
