Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by George Tooker could be acquired at Christies in New York in May 2017 for an unexpectedly low price. In the American Art auction, the work Odalisque changed hands for USD 187,500.00 (€ 166,874.33) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Tooker - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Coney Island, which sold at auction in December 2002 for USD 427,500.00 (€ 407,725.32).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Tooker konnte im Mai 2017 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion American Art wechselte die Arbeit Odalisque für USD 187.500,00 (€ 166.874,33) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von George Tooker mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Coney Island beobachtet, die im Dezember 2002 für USD 427.500,00 (€ 407.725,32) versteigert wurde.
