Auction result misses estimated price range

In the American Art auction, the work The Family changed hands for USD 1,169,500.00 (€ 1,036,147.78) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 1,200,000.00 – 1,800,000.00.

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Jacob Lawrence konnte im November 2021 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion American Art wechselte die Arbeit The Family für USD 1.169.500,00 (€ 1.036.147,78) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.200.000,00 – 1.800.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jacob Lawrence auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Businessmen im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.169.800,00 (€ 5.448.909,30).
