Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Two Prints by the Artist by Giuseppe Capogrossi was auctioned at Christies in New York in April this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 800.00 – 1,200.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 630.00 (€ 570.65). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giuseppe Capogrossi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Superficie 106 in December this year with an auction result of EUR 419,500.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Two Prints by the Artist von Giuseppe Capogrossi im April diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 630,00 (€ 570,65) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giuseppe Capogrossi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Superficie 106 im Dezember diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 419.500,00.
