Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Corset (from People Do Weird Things To Their Bodies) by Inka Essenhigh was auctioned at Christies in New York in February 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,625.00 (€ 1,473.92). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Inka Essenhigh achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Adoration in May 2005 with an auction result of USD 132,000.00 (€ 106,891.25).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Corset (from People Do Weird Things To Their Bodies) von Inka Essenhigh im Februar 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 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.625,00 (€ 1.473,92) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Inka Essenhigh erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Adoration im Mai 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 132.000,00 (€ 106.891,25).
