Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Double Self Portrait Iv by John Coplans was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in June 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 6,000.00 – 9,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 3,500.00 (€ 3,116.37). Admittedly, works by John Coplans have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work 'Self-Portrait, Frieze No. 4, 3 Panels' in March 2018 with an auction result of USD 32,500.00 (€ 26,379.87).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Double Self Portrait Iv von John Coplans im Juni 2020 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 6.000,00 – 9.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 3.500,00 (€ 3.116,37) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Coplans auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit 'Self-Portrait, Frieze No. 4, 3 Panels' im März 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 32.500,00 (€ 26.379,87).
