Auction result well in line with expectations
In February 2019 Christies in London held the auction Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale, which included the work Psalm XXXIX by Mordecai Ardon. The price achieved of GBP 50,000.00 (€ 58,326.74) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mordecai Ardon achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Awakening in December 2014 with an auction result of USD 821,000.00 (€ 678,456.33).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Februar 2019 führte Christies in London die Auktion Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Psalm XXXIX von Mordecai Ardon zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 50.000,00 (€ 58.326,74) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mordecai Ardon erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Awakening im Dezember 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 821.000,00 (€ 678.456,33).
