Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Untitled (Figures/Abstract), double sided by Janet Sobel was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 8,125.00 (€ 7,093.59). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Janet Sobel achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work untitled in September this year with an auction result of USD 76,200.00 (€ 71,995.46).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Untitled (Figures/Abstract), double sided von Janet Sobel im Januar 2019 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 8.125,00 (€ 7.093,59) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Janet Sobel erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit untitled im September diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 76.200,00 (€ 71.995,46).
