Despite a disappointment, a good price for Igael Tumarkin
When the work Composition by Igael Tumarkin was auctioned at Christies in Tel Aviv in April 2001, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 8,225.00 (€ 9,268.65). Despite this disappointing result, Composition is the most expensive artwork by Igael Tumarkin that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Igael Tumarkin
Als die Arbeit Composition von Igael Tumarkin im April 2001 bei Christies in Tel Aviv versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 8.225,00 (€ 9.268,65) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Composition das teuerste Kunstwerk von Igael Tumarkin, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
