Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Eyeballing I by Maria Chevska was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2010, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 563.00 (€ 672.78). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Maria Chevska - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Eyeballing, which sold at auction in April 2007 for GBP 1,440.00 (€ 2,108.35).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Eyeballing I von Maria Chevska im November 2010 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 563,00 (€ 672,78) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Maria Chevska mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Eyeballing beobachtet, die im April 2007 für GBP 1.440,00 (€ 2.108,35) versteigert wurde.
