Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by George Nakashima could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in July 2015 for an unexpectedly low price. In the CONTEMPORARY LIVING – Photographs, Prints & Design auction, the work Headboard changed hands for USD 6,250.00 (€ 5,667.39) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 7,000.00 – 9,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Nakashima achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Exceptional free-form “Minguren I” coffee table in May 2010 with an auction result of USD 86,500.00 (€ 69,932.90).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Nakashima konnte im Juli 2015 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion CONTEMPORARY LIVING – Photographs, Prints & Design wechselte die Arbeit Headboard für USD 6.250,00 (€ 5.667,39) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 7.000,00 – 9.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Nakashima erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Exceptional free-form “Minguren I” coffee table im Mai 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 86.500,00 (€ 69.932,90).
