Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Jesus S. by John Sonsini was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 18,750.00 (€ 14,436.40). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Sonsini - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Gabriel, which sold at auction in November 2011 for USD 43,750.00 (€ 32,520.63).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Jesus S. von John Sonsini im Mai 2013 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 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 18.750,00 (€ 14.436,40) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von John Sonsini mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Gabriel beobachtet, die im November 2011 für USD 43.750,00 (€ 32.520,63) versteigert wurde.
