Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Twelve project studies, 1932–1944 by José María Sert was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 3,750.00 (€ 3,347.92). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by José María Sert achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nine Panels of Theatrical Scenes in October 2004 with an auction result of USD 321,100.00 (€ 251,922.17).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Twelve project studies, 1932–1944 von José María Sert im April 2019 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 3.750,00 (€ 3.347,92) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von José María Sert erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nine Panels of Theatrical Scenes im Oktober 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 321.100,00 (€ 251.922,17).
