Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Untitled, Coney Island woman on the beach by Leon Levinstein was auctioned at Bonhams in Skinner Boston in January 2024, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 800.00 – 1,200.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 537.60 (€ 469.85). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Leon Levinstein achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Coney Island, 1975 in February 2007 with an auction result of USD 8,400.00 (€ 6,349.21).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Untitled, Coney Island woman on the beach von Leon Levinstein im Januar 2024 bei Bonhams in Skinner Boston versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 537,60 (€ 469,85) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Leon Levinstein erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Coney Island, 1975 im Februar 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 8.400,00 (€ 6.349,21).
