Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by George Herms could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in September 2014 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Contemporary Curated featuring works from the Collection of Joni Gordon of Newspace Gallery auction, the work Dollar Clock changed hands for USD 2,813.00 (€ 2,227.59) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Admittedly, works by George Herms have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Song for Hope in January 2011 with an auction result of USD 18,750.00 (€ 13,671.16).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Herms konnte im September 2014 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Contemporary Curated featuring works from the Collection of Joni Gordon of Newspace Gallery wechselte die Arbeit Dollar Clock für USD 2.813,00 (€ 2.227,59) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von George Herms auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Song for Hope im Januar 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 18.750,00 (€ 13.671,16).
