Auction result misses estimated price range
In December 2004 a collector was able to acquire the work Study for Third Avenue El; and two companion studies by Francis Criss for USD 298.75 (€ 220.68). This price was achieved in the auction THE HOUSE SALEALL LOTS OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 500.00 – 700.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francis Criss achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Melancholy Interlude in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 348,500.00 (€ 307,780.62).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Dezember 2004 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Study for Third Avenue El; and two companion studies von Francis Criss für USD 298,75 (€ 220,68) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion THE HOUSE SALEALL LOTS OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 500,00 – 700,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francis Criss erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Melancholy Interlude im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 348.500,00 (€ 307.780,62).
