Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Handball Players, Brooklyn, 1946; and Rivington Street, N.Y.C., 1947 by Jerome Liebling was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 937.50 (€ 722.65). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jerome Liebling - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work NYC, Union Square, which sold at auction in February 2002 for USD 1,645.00 (€ 1,899.98).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Handball Players, Brooklyn, 1946; and Rivington Street, N.Y.C., 1947 von Jerome Liebling im Dezember 2011 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 – 2.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 937,50 (€ 722,65) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Jerome Liebling mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit NYC, Union Square beobachtet, die im Februar 2002 für USD 1.645,00 (€ 1.899,98) versteigert wurde.
