Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Two Harrison Begay (Haskay Yahne Yah) Paintings by Harrison Begay was auctioned at Bonhams in Los Angeles in September 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 500.00 – 800.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 408.00 (€ 348.18). Other works by Harrison Begay have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in September 2020 by the work A Harrison Begay (Haskay Yahne Yah) Painting at USD 510.00 (€ 435.23).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Two Harrison Begay (Haskay Yahne Yah) Paintings von Harrison Begay im September 2020 bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 500,00 – 800,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 408,00 (€ 348,18) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Harrison Begay wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im September 2020 die Arbeit A Harrison Begay (Haskay Yahne Yah) Painting mit USD 510,00 (€ 435,23).
