Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Adam And Eve by Jack Levine was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 56,250.00 (€ 42,520.22). Other works by Jack Levine have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in December 2011 by the work The Princess at USD 86,500.00 (€ 66,676.94).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Adam And Eve von Jack Levine im April 2012 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 56.250,00 (€ 42.520,22) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Jack Levine wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Dezember 2011 die Arbeit The Princess mit USD 86.500,00 (€ 66.676,94).
