Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Garage by James Casebere was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 7,000.00 – 10,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 5,000.00 (€ 4,257.86). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Casebere achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Arcade in September 2013 with an auction result of USD 75,000.00 (€ 55,411.90).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Garage von James Casebere im März 2021 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 7.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 5.000,00 (€ 4.257,86) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von James Casebere erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Arcade im September 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 75.000,00 (€ 55.411,90).
