Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Bullfight In Mexico by Gilbert Gaul was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 13,750.00 (€ 9,764.93). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gilbert Gaul achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Song Of Victory in May 2010 with an auction result of USD 146,500.00 (€ 118,441.26).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Bullfight In Mexico von Gilbert Gaul im September 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 15.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 13.750,00 (€ 9.764,93) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gilbert Gaul erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Song Of Victory im Mai 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 146.500,00 (€ 118.441,26).
