Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Keegan Mchargue could be acquired at Christies in New York in February 2020 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Christie's 100 auction, the work Shell Collecting changed hands for USD 625.00 (€ 566.89) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 1,000.00 – 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Keegan Mchargue achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Center in May 2007 with an auction result of USD 9,600.00 (€ 7,135.95).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Keegan Mchargue konnte im Februar 2020 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Christie's 100 wechselte die Arbeit Shell Collecting für USD 625,00 (€ 566,89) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.000,00 – 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Keegan Mchargue erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Center im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 9.600,00 (€ 7.135,95).
