Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Artemis Figure II by George McNeil was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2015, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 7,000.00 – 9,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 6,250.00 (€ 5,599.35). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George McNeil - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Holiday, which sold at auction in January 2008 for USD 27,400.00 (€ 18,462.37).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Artemis Figure II von George McNeil im April 2015 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 7.000,00 – 9.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 6.250,00 (€ 5.599,35) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von George McNeil mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Holiday beobachtet, die im Januar 2008 für USD 27.400,00 (€ 18.462,37) versteigert wurde.
