Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Untitled (Laborer with Shovel) by Max Kalish was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 11,340.00 (€ 9,816.48). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Max Kalish - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 'Steelworker', which sold at auction in September 2010 for USD 50,000.00 (€ 36,762.00).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Untitled (Laborer with Shovel) von Max Kalish im Oktober 2021 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 11.340,00 (€ 9.816,48) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Max Kalish mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit 'Steelworker' beobachtet, die im September 2010 für USD 50.000,00 (€ 36.762,00) versteigert wurde.
