Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work "Be Patient, Gramps!" (First Aid) by Hy Hintermeister was auctioned at Christies in New York in August 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 11,875.00 (€ 9,948.89). Other works by Hy Hintermeister have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in May 2018 by the work Bullseye at USD 17,500.00 (€ 14,995.72).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit "Be Patient, Gramps!" (First Aid) von Hy Hintermeister im August 2020 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 11.875,00 (€ 9.948,89) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Hy Hintermeister wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Mai 2018 die Arbeit Bullseye mit USD 17.500,00 (€ 14.995,72).
