Auction result misses estimated price range
In April 2015 a collector was able to acquire the work Sea Gulls by Hedda Sterne for USD 3,125.00 (€ 2,799.68). This price was achieved in the auction American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hedda Sterne achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work New York VIII in May last year with an auction result of USD 504,000.00 (€ 469,667.32).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im April 2015 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Sea Gulls von Hedda Sterne für USD 3.125,00 (€ 2.799,68) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hedda Sterne erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit New York VIII im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 504.000,00 (€ 469.667,32).
