Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Self Portrait by Gideon Rubin was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in December 2008, 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 6,875.00 (€ 4,939.29). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gideon Rubin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Red Ribbon, which sold at auction in December 2015 for USD 17,500.00 (€ 16,115.66).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Self Portrait von Gideon Rubin im Dezember 2008 bei Sothebys 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 6.875,00 (€ 4.939,29) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Gideon Rubin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Red Ribbon beobachtet, die im Dezember 2015 für USD 17.500,00 (€ 16.115,66) versteigert wurde.
