Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Jan Matulka could be acquired at Sothebys in London in November 2014 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Czech Avant-Garde Art from the Roy and Mary Cullen Collection auction, the work Czech Lilies (Lilie) changed hands for GBP 875.00 (€ 1,100.12) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jan Matulka achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work New York Harbor & Paris: A Double Sided Work in December 2020 with an auction result of USD 201,600.00 (€ 164,840.56).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Jan Matulka konnte im November 2014 bei Sothebys in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Czech Avant-Garde Art from the Roy and Mary Cullen Collection wechselte die Arbeit Czech Lilies (Lilie) für GBP 875,00 (€ 1.100,12) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.200,00 – 1.800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jan Matulka erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit New York Harbor & Paris: A Double Sided Work im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 201.600,00 (€ 164.840,56).
