Auction result misses estimated price range

In August this year a collector was able to acquire the work Woman with a Sprig of Laurel by George Tooker for USD 480.00 (€ 442.85). This price was achieved in the auction Prints & MultiplesSummer Splash at Bonhams in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 500.00 – 700.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Tooker achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Coney Island in December 2002 with an auction result of USD 427,500.00 (€ 407,725.32).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im August diesen Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Woman with a Sprig of Laurel von George Tooker für USD 480,00 (€ 442,85) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Prints & MultiplesSummer Splash bei Bonhams in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 500,00 – 700,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Tooker erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Coney Island im Dezember 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 427.500,00 (€ 407.725,32).
