Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The Italian Procession by Jerome Myers was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 8,125.00 (€ 5,770.19). Admittedly, works by Jerome Myers have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Playground in October 2000 with an auction result of USD 30,550.00 (€ 36,000.47).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The Italian Procession von Jerome Myers im September 2008 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 8.125,00 (€ 5.770,19) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jerome Myers auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Playground im Oktober 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 30.550,00 (€ 36.000,47).
