Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Josiah Mcelheny could be acquired at Christies in New York in September 2011 for an unexpectedly low price. In the First OpenPost-War & Contemporary Art auction, the work Halo After Boticelli changed hands for USD 5,625.00 (€ 4,182.47) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Josiah Mcelheny achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work EARLY MODERNISM MIRRORED AND REFLECTED INFINITELY in May 2011 with an auction result of USD 146,500.00 (€ 101,905.95).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Josiah Mcelheny konnte im September 2011 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion First OpenPost-War & Contemporary Art wechselte die Arbeit Halo After Boticelli für USD 5.625,00 (€ 4.182,47) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Josiah Mcelheny erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit EARLY MODERNISM MIRRORED AND REFLECTED INFINITELY im Mai 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 146.500,00 (€ 101.905,95).
