Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Michael Chalmers McMillen could be acquired at Bonhams in Los Angeles in September last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Post-War & Contemporary Art X Made In California auction, the work Sartre Transfixed by Two Dancing Pencils, 1990 changed hands for USD 2,550.00 (€ 2,606.56) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Michael Chalmers McMillen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sweet Mother of Mercy Eats It All (Red Star), 1989-90, which sold at auction in September 2020 for USD 6,325.00 (€ 5,397.68).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Michael Chalmers McMillen konnte im September letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in Los Angeles für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art X Made In California wechselte die Arbeit Sartre Transfixed by Two Dancing Pencils, 1990 für USD 2.550,00 (€ 2.606,56) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Michael Chalmers McMillen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sweet Mother of Mercy Eats It All (Red Star), 1989-90 beobachtet, die im September 2020 für USD 6.325,00 (€ 5.397,68) versteigert wurde.
