Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Jan Štursa could be acquired at Sothebys in London in June 2011 for an unexpectedly low price. In the The Hascoe Family Collection: Important Czech Art auction, the work Czech seated Nude (Sedící Akt) changed hands for GBP 250.00 (€ 276.58) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jan Štursa achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Czech messalina in June 2011 with an auction result of GBP 27,500.00 (€ 30,423.64).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Jan Štursa konnte im Juni 2011 bei Sothebys in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The Hascoe Family Collection: Important Czech Art wechselte die Arbeit Czech seated Nude (Sedící Akt) für GBP 250,00 (€ 276,58) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jan Štursa erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Czech messalina im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 27.500,00 (€ 30.423,64).
