Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Aerial of Muhammad Ali victorious after his round two knockdown of Cleveland Williams during the 1966 World Heavyweight Title fight at the Astrodome, Houston, Texas, November 14, 1966 by Neil Leifer was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Neil Leifer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Muhammad Ali reacts after his first round knockout of Sonny Liston during the 1965 World Heavyweight Title fight at St. Dominic’s Arena, Lewiston, Maine, which sold at auction in October 2016 for USD 17,500.00 (€ 15,964.24).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Aerial of Muhammad Ali victorious after his round two knockdown of Cleveland Williams during the 1966 World Heavyweight Title fight at the Astrodome, Houston, Texas, November 14, 1966 von Neil Leifer im April 2019 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 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 5.000,00 (€ 4.463,89) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Neil Leifer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Muhammad Ali reacts after his first round knockout of Sonny Liston during the 1965 World Heavyweight Title fight at St. Dominic’s Arena, Lewiston, Maine beobachtet, die im Oktober 2016 für USD 17.500,00 (€ 15.964,24) versteigert wur
