Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2018 Christies in New York held the auction Beyond Imagination: Outsider and Vernacular Art Featuring the Collection of Marjorie and Harvey Freed, which included the work Figure by Lee Godie. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 800.00 – 1,200.00, the actual price achieved of USD 875.00 (€ 704.06) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lee Godie achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Mona Lisa and Prince Charming in January this year with an auction result of USD 8,190.00 (€ 7,542.83).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar 2018 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Beyond Imagination: Outsider and Vernacular Art Featuring the Collection of Marjorie and Harvey Freed durch, in der auch die Arbeit Figure von Lee Godie zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 875,00 (€ 704,06) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lee Godie erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Mona Lisa and Prince Charming im Januar diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 8.190,00 (€ 7.542,83).
