Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Forrest Bess could be acquired at Christies in New York in September 2016 for an unexpectedly low price. In the First Open | Post-War and Contemporary Art | NY auction, this work without title changed hands for USD 25,000.00 (€ 22,245.95) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Forrest Bess - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled No. 6, which sold at auction in November 2011 for USD 112,900.00 (€ 83,921.80).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Forrest Bess konnte im September 2016 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion First Open | Post-War and Contemporary Art | NY wechselte diese Arbeit ohne Titel für USD 25.000,00 (€ 22.245,95) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Forrest Bess mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled No. 6 beobachtet, die im November 2011 für USD 112.900,00 (€ 83.921,80) versteigert wurde.
