Auction result misses estimated price range
In September 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work What Did Eddie Do? by Katherine Porter for USD 2,375.00 (€ 1,686.67). This price was achieved in the auction Contemporary Art at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Katherine Porter - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled, 1980, which sold at auction in July 2004 for USD 5,019.00 (€ 4,171.38).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im September 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit What Did Eddie Do? von Katherine Porter für USD 2.375,00 (€ 1.686,67) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Contemporary Art bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Katherine Porter mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled, 1980 beobachtet, die im Juli 2004 für USD 5.019,00 (€ 4.171,38) versteigert wurde.
