Auction result misses estimated price range

In September 2019 a collector was able to acquire the work Slovakian Village: Turi-Pole by Jan Matulka for USD 6,875.00 (€ 6,304.45). This price was achieved in the auction American Art at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00 set by the auction house. 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

Im September 2019 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Slovakian Village: Turi-Pole von Jan Matulka für USD 6.875,00 (€ 6.304,45) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion American Art bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00. 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).
