Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Luscious Leftovers by Frank Benson was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 7,500.00 (€ 4,817.57). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frank Benson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Wooster Farm in May 2007 with an auction result of USD 1,272,000.00 (€ 945,514.01).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Luscious Leftovers von Frank Benson im April 2008 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 7.500,00 (€ 4.817,57) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frank Benson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Wooster Farm im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.272.000,00 (€ 945.514,01).
