Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Lee Krasner could be acquired at Christies in New York in May this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part I auction, this work without title changed hands for USD 4,285,000.00 (€ 4,021,963.58) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 6,000,000.00 – 8,000,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lee Krasner - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Eye Is The First Circle, which sold at auction in May 2019 for USD 11,654,000.00 (€ 10,452,955.42).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Lee Krasner konnte im Mai diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part I wechselte diese Arbeit ohne Titel für USD 4.285.000,00 (€ 4.021.963,58) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 6.000.000,00 – 8.000.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Lee Krasner mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Eye Is The First Circle beobachtet, die im Mai 2019 für USD 11.654.000,00 (€ 10.452.955,42) versteigert wurde.
