Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Falling Man Series (6 works) by Ernest Trova was auctioned at Bonhams in February this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 3,600.00 – 4,800.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 3,187.50 (€ 3,006.51). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ernest Trova achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Study/Falling Man (Wheel Man) in October 2020 with an auction result of USD 63,000.00 (€ 54,091.18).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Falling Man Series (6 works) von Ernest Trova im Februar diesen Jahres bei Bonhams versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.600,00 – 4.800,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 3.187,50 (€ 3.006,51) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ernest Trova erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Study/Falling Man (Wheel Man) im Oktober 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 63.000,00 (€ 54.091,18).
