Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Gordon Coster could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in July 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Bette Davis Eyes and Other Natural Phenomena: Photographs at No Reserve auction, the work Fireworks changed hands for USD 1,638.00 (€ 1,380.65) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Admittedly, works by Gordon Coster have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Bicycle Racer in October 2018 with an auction result of USD 6,875.00 (€ 6,066.89).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Gordon Coster konnte im Juli 2021 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Bette Davis Eyes and Other Natural Phenomena: Photographs at No Reserve wechselte die Arbeit Fireworks für USD 1.638,00 (€ 1.380,65) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Gordon Coster auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Bicycle Racer im Oktober 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.875,00 (€ 6.066,89).
