Auction result misses estimated price range
In November 2019 a collector was able to acquire the work General Fredrickson Parson, General Cannon, General Richardson Halsted, And General Federal by Henry Darger for USD 18,750.00 (€ 17,016.06). This price was achieved in the auction Contemporary Art Day Auction at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Darger achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sans Titre in December 2014 with an auction result of EUR 601,500.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im November 2019 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit General Fredrickson Parson, General Cannon, General Richardson Halsted, And General Federal von Henry Darger für USD 18.750,00 (€ 17.016,06) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Darger erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sans Titre im Dezember 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 601.500,00.
