Auction result misses estimated price range
In May last year a collector was able to acquire the work El nacimiento de los pájaros by Gunther Gerzso for USD 239,400.00 (€ 223,091.98). This price was achieved in the auction Modern Day Auction at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 250,000.00 – 350,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gunther Gerzso - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Paisaje legendario (Azul y naranja), which sold at auction in May last year for USD 529,200.00 (€ 493,150.68).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Mai letzten Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit El nacimiento de los pájaros von Gunther Gerzso für USD 239.400,00 (€ 223.091,98) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Modern Day Auction bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 250.000,00 – 350.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Gunther Gerzso mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Paisaje legendario (Azul y naranja) beobachtet, die im Mai letzten Jahres für USD 529.200,00 (€ 493.150,68) versteigert wurde.
