Auction result misses estimated price range

In December 2014 a collector was able to acquire the work 'Pushing Men': A Pair Of Bookends by Isidore Konti for USD 3,250.00 (€ 2,685.73). This price was achieved in the auction Interiors at Christies in Hong Kong and was even below the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Isidore Konti have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work 'Pushing Men': A Pair Of Bookends in February 2013 with an auction result of USD 15,000.00 (€ 11,468.77).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Dezember 2014 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit 'Pushing Men': A Pair Of Bookends von Isidore Konti für USD 3.250,00 (€ 2.685,73) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Interiors bei Christies in Hong Kong erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Isidore Konti auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit 'Pushing Men': A Pair Of Bookends im Februar 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 15.000,00 (€ 11.468,77).
