Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The Bathers - a study for a mural (recto and verso) by James Daugherty was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,800.00 – 2,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,375.00 (€ 987.86). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Daugherty achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Steel Mill in April 2011 with an auction result of USD 50,000.00 (€ 33,735.92).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The Bathers - a study for a mural (recto and verso) von James Daugherty im Dezember 2008 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 1.800,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.375,00 (€ 987,86) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von James Daugherty erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Steel Mill im April 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 33.735,92).
