Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by George Brecht could be acquired at Christies in London in September 2019 for an unexpectedly low price. In the First Open | Online auction, the work Valoche/A Flux Travel Aid changed hands for GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,052.38) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 6,500.00 – 8,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Brecht - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Exhibit 47, From Book of the Tumbler on Fire, which sold at auction in October 2016 for GBP 15,000.00 (€ 16,710.45).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Brecht konnte im September 2019 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion First Open | Online wechselte die Arbeit Valoche/A Flux Travel Aid für GBP 6.250,00 (€ 7.052,38) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 6.500,00 – 8.500,00. Für andere Arbeiten von George Brecht mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Exhibit 47, From Book of the Tumbler on Fire beobachtet, die im Oktober 2016 für GBP 15.000,00 (€ 16.710,45) versteigert wurde.
