Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Back Of Jay by Evan Penny was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2017, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 15,000.00 (€ 12,607.16). Admittedly, works by Evan Penny have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work L. Faux: Black & White in May 2008 with an auction result of USD 145,000.00 (€ 93,187.66).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Back Of Jay von Evan Penny im November 2017 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 15.000,00 (€ 12.607,16) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Evan Penny auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit L. Faux: Black & White im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 145.000,00 (€ 93.187,66).
