Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Gemelle (Twins), 1999 by Mario Lasalandra was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2012, 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 1,875.00 (€ 2,321.70). Other works by Mario Lasalandra have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in June 2012 by the work Spaventapasseri (Scarecrow), 1968 at GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,643.39).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Gemelle (Twins), 1999 von Mario Lasalandra im Juni 2012 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 1.875,00 (€ 2.321,70) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Mario Lasalandra wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Juni 2012 die Arbeit Spaventapasseri (Scarecrow), 1968 mit GBP 3.750,00 (€ 4.643,39).
