Auction result misses estimated price range

In April this year a collector was able to acquire the work I Will Always Love You, from 21 Etchings and Poems by Franz Kline for USD 7,620.00 (€ 6,902.17). This price was achieved in the auction Editions & Works on Paper at Phillips in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Franz Kline achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in November 2012 with an auction result of USD 40,402,500.00 (€ 31,054,957.72).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im April diesen Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit I Will Always Love You, from 21 Etchings and Poems von Franz Kline für USD 7.620,00 (€ 6.902,17) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Editions & Works on Paper bei Phillips in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Franz Kline erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im November 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 40.402.500,00 (€ 31.054.957,72).
