Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Study/Falling Man (Car Man) by Ernest Trova was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2013. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 21,250.00 (€ 16,580.84) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ernest Trova - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Study/Falling Man (Wheel Man), which sold at auction in October 2020 for USD 63,000.00 (€ 54,091.18).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Study/Falling Man (Car Man) von Ernest Trova kam im März 2013 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 21.250,00 (€ 16.580,84) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Ernest Trova mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Study/Falling Man (Wheel Man) beobachtet, die im Oktober 2020 für USD 63.000,00 (€ 54.091,18) versteigert wurde.
