Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Apollo Punishes Midas For His False Judgement By Condemning Him To Sport An Ass'S Ears by Joseph Paelinck was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 58,000.00 (€ 39,080.92). Other works by Joseph Paelinck have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in October 2005 by the work Orpheus and Eurydice at USD 72,000.00 (€ 60,025.01).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Apollo Punishes Midas For His False Judgement By Condemning Him To Sport An Ass'S Ears von Joseph Paelinck im Januar 2008 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 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 58.000,00 (€ 39.080,92) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Joseph Paelinck wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Oktober 2005 die Arbeit Orpheus and Eurydice mit USD 72.000,00 (€ 60.025,01).
