Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Selected Images by Grant Mudford was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,000.00 – 2,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 625.00 (€ 551.54). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Grant Mudford achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Selected Images in April 2016 with an auction result of USD 10,000.00 (€ 8,740.49).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Selected Images von Grant Mudford im Oktober 2018 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 1.000,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 625,00 (€ 551,54) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Grant Mudford erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Selected Images im April 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 10.000,00 (€ 8.740,49).
