Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Josef Čapek could be acquired at Christies in New York in April this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the The Sale of the Century: An Important Corporate Collection of Prints and Multiples: Online auction, the work 18 works by the artist changed hands for USD 882.00 (€ 798.91) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Josef Čapek achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Czech sailor And Phantomas: A Double-Sided Work (Námořník A Fantomas: Oboustranná Malba) in June 2011 with an auction result of GBP 565,250.00 (€ 625,344.06).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Josef Čapek konnte im April diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The Sale of the Century: An Important Corporate Collection of Prints and Multiples: Online wechselte die Arbeit 18 works by the artist für USD 882,00 (€ 798,91) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Josef Čapek erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Czech sailor And Phantomas: A Double-Sided Work (Námořník A Fantomas: Oboustranná Malba) im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 565.250,00 (€ 625.344,06).
