Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The Tricorne Hat by Guy Pène du Bois was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 70,000.00 – 100,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 60,480.00 (€ 56,360.08). Admittedly, works by Guy Pène du Bois have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Crowd [Self-Portrait|AID239202] in November 2012 with an auction result of USD 602,500.00 (€ 463,105.30).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The Tricorne Hat von Guy Pène du Bois im Mai letzten Jahres 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 70.000,00 – 100.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 60.480,00 (€ 56.360,08) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Guy Pène du Bois auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Crowd [Self-Portrait|AID239202] im November 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 602.500,00 (€ 463.105,30).
