Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by John Davies could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in March 2010 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Contemporary Art auction, the work Untitled (Head U) changed hands for USD 5,313.00 (€ 3,927.99) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Davies - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Brown Painted Head, which sold at auction in July 2008 for GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,940.70).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Davies konnte im März 2010 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Contemporary Art wechselte die Arbeit Untitled (Head U) für USD 5.313,00 (€ 3.927,99) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von John Davies mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Brown Painted Head beobachtet, die im Juli 2008 für GBP 6.250,00 (€ 7.940,70) versteigert wurde.
