Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Liquid Reflections Unlimited by Liliane Lijn was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 2,500.00 (€ 2,908.22). Admittedly, works by Liliane Lijn have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Liquid Reflections, Series 1 in June 2014 with an auction result of GBP 20,000.00 (€ 24,989.04).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Liquid Reflections Unlimited von Liliane Lijn im April 2019 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 2.500,00 (€ 2.908,22) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Liliane Lijn auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Liquid Reflections, Series 1 im Juni 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 20.000,00 (€ 24.989,04).
