Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work September, Version by Lee Gatch was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2009, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 3,750.00 (€ 2,827.84). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lee Gatch - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ionian, which sold at auction in September 2008 for USD 8,750.00 (€ 6,214.05).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit September, Version von Lee Gatch im März 2009 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 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 3.750,00 (€ 2.827,84) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Lee Gatch mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Ionian beobachtet, die im September 2008 für USD 8.750,00 (€ 6.214,05) versteigert wurde.
