Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Study/Falling Man (Multiple Hinge Figure I) by Ernest Trova was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in June 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 25,000.00 (€ 19,734.76). 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).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Study/Falling Man (Multiple Hinge Figure I) von Ernest Trova im Juni 2012 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 25.000,00 (€ 19.734,76) mehr als dreimal so hoch. 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.
