Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Mark Grotjahn could be acquired at Christies in New York in March this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Art of Collecting: A Pacific Island Connoisseur of Art and Design auction, the work Untitled (Black Yellow Red Pink Cream and White Butterfly Drawing in 3 Parts DO NOT SEPARATE 789) changed hands for USD 327,600.00 (€ 301,324.50) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 350,000.00 – 550,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mark Grotjahn achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (S III Released to France Face 43.14) in May 2017 with an auction result of USD 16,767,500.00 (€ 14,923,015.31).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Mark Grotjahn konnte im März diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Art of Collecting: A Pacific Island Connoisseur of Art and Design wechselte die Arbeit Untitled (Black Yellow Red Pink Cream and White Butterfly Drawing in 3 Parts DO NOT SEPARATE 789) für USD 327.600,00 (€ 301.324,50) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 350.000,00 – 550.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mark Grotjahn erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (S III Released to France Face 43.14) im Mai 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 16.767.500,00 (€ 14.923.015,31).
