Auction result misses estimated price range

In July 2019 a collector was able to acquire the work Andrei Sakharov by Leon Golub for USD 1,250.00 (€ 1,123.09). This price was achieved in the auction First Open | Online at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Leon Golub achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work White Squad X in November 2014 with an auction result of USD 197,000.00 (€ 158,385.59).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Juli 2019 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Andrei Sakharov von Leon Golub für USD 1.250,00 (€ 1.123,09) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion First Open | Online bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Leon Golub erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit White Squad X im November 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 197.000,00 (€ 158.385,59).
