Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Wife of a Lynch Victim, Irwinton, Georgia from 'There Is No More Time', 1949 by Marion Palfi was auctioned at Christies 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 1,000.00 (€ 854.26). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Marion Palfi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Wife of a Lynch Victim, Irwinton, Georgia from 'There Is No More Time', 1949, which sold at auction in December 2017 for USD 3,250.00 (€ 2,703.38).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Wife of a Lynch Victim, Irwinton, Georgia from 'There Is No More Time', 1949 von Marion Palfi im Juli 2018 bei Christies 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 1.000,00 (€ 854,26) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Marion Palfi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Wife of a Lynch Victim, Irwinton, Georgia from 'There Is No More Time', 1949 beobachtet, die im Dezember 2017 für USD 3.250,00 (€ 2.703,38) versteigert wurde.
