Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Jan Matulka could be acquired at Christies in New York in February 2016 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Living With Art auction, the work Harbor in Abstract changed hands for USD 2,500.00 (€ 2,300.33) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. 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 Februar 2016 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Living With Art wechselte die Arbeit Harbor in Abstract für USD 2.500,00 (€ 2.300,33) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. 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).
