Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Amalgam (brown) (T. 15-301) by Nick Cave was auctioned at Phillips in New York in October this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 800.00 – 1,200.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 635.00 (€ 600.87). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nick Cave achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Soundsuit in May 2021 with an auction result of USD 189,000.00 (€ 154,994.26).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Amalgam (brown) (T. 15-301) von Nick Cave im Oktober diesen Jahres bei Phillips in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 635,00 (€ 600,87) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nick Cave erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Soundsuit im Mai 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 189.000,00 (€ 154.994,26).
