Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Bruce, Get Loose by Fab 5 Freddy was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 4,788.00 (€ 4,144.74). Admittedly, works by Fab 5 Freddy have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Monumental Moment in September 2012 with an auction result of USD 23,750.00 (€ 18,473.86).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Bruce, Get Loose von Fab 5 Freddy im Oktober 2021 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 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 4.788,00 (€ 4.144,74) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Fab 5 Freddy auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A Monumental Moment im September 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 23.750,00 (€ 18.473,86).
