Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Chocolate-Dips, 1984 by Lorraine Shemesh was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in July 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 625.00 (€ 533.91). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lorraine Shemesh achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Backfloat in September 2011 with an auction result of USD 68,500.00 (€ 50,933.15).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Chocolate-Dips, 1984 von Lorraine Shemesh im Juli 2018 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 625,00 (€ 533,91) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lorraine Shemesh erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Backfloat im September 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 68.500,00 (€ 50.933,15).
