Despite a disappointment, a good price for Jacob Kass

When the work The Ice House by Jacob Kass was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 4,750.00 (€ 4,281.98). Despite this disappointing result, The Ice House is the most expensive artwork by Jacob Kass that we have observed at auction so far.

Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Jacob Kass

Als die Arbeit The Ice House von Jacob Kass im Januar 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 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 4.750,00 (€ 4.281,98) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist The Ice House das teuerste Kunstwerk von Jacob Kass, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
