Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by John Gruen could be acquired at Christies in New York in March 2008 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work Portrait of Roy Lichtenstein; and two companion photographs changed hands for USD 500.00 (€ 316.36) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 800.00 – 1,200.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Gruen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled, 1980, which sold at auction in February 2007 for USD 1,440.00 (€ 1,088.44).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Gruen konnte im März 2008 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wechselte die Arbeit Portrait of Roy Lichtenstein; and two companion photographs für USD 500,00 (€ 316,36) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 800,00 – 1.200,00. Für andere Arbeiten von John Gruen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled, 1980 beobachtet, die im Februar 2007 für USD 1.440,00 (€ 1.088,44) versteigert wurde.
