Max Kalish

Man With Jackhammer

Found at Christies, New York
Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, Lot 57
5. Mar - 5. Mar 2009
Estimate: 5.000 - 7.000 USD
Price realised: 25.000 USD
Max Kalish (1891-1945)
Man with Jackhammer
inscribed 'M. Kalish. 26' and stamped 'Meroni Radice/Cire/Perdue/Paris' (along the base)
bronze with green patina
10¼ in. (26 cm.) high on a black marble base 3/4 in. (9.5 cm.) high

Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Man With Jackhammer by Max Kalish was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2009, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 7,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 25,000.00 (€ 18,852.27). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Max Kalish; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot 'Steelworker' sold at auction in September 2010 with the realized price of USD 50,000.00 (€ 36,762.00).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Man With Jackhammer von Max Kalish im März 2009 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 7.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 25.000,00 (€ 18.852,27) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Max Kalish; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit 'Steelworker' im September 2010 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 36.762,00).
