Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Lines; together with a companion photograph of Juan Papaza Train Station by Pettus Kaufman, circa 1940 by Max Thorek was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,250.00 (€ 898.05). Other works by Max Thorek have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in December 2020 by the work „Odalisque“. 1934. at EUR 1,000.00.

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Lines; together with a companion photograph of Juan Papaza Train Station by Pettus Kaufman, circa 1940 von Max Thorek im Dezember 2008 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 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.250,00 (€ 898,05) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Max Thorek wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Dezember 2020 die Arbeit „Odalisque“. 1934. mit EUR 1.000,00.
