Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Selected images by Jeffrey Becom was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2003, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 59.75 (€ 36.21). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jeffrey Becom achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Door with Speckled Hen, Chicua, Guatemala, 1992 in February 2005 with an auction result of USD 1,560.00 (€ 1,175.23).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Selected images von Jeffrey Becom im September 2003 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 59,75 (€ 36,21) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jeffrey Becom erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Door with Speckled Hen, Chicua, Guatemala, 1992 im Februar 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.560,00 (€ 1.175,23).
