Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Layers (Paris 1) & Layers (Madrid 1) (Two Works) by Nikki S. Lee was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2017, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 500.00 (€ 415.90). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nikki S. Lee achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Selected Images, 1998-1999 in April 2006 with an auction result of USD 19,200.00 (€ 15,209.13).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Layers (Paris 1) & Layers (Madrid 1) (Two Works) von Nikki S. Lee im Dezember 2017 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 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 500,00 (€ 415,90) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nikki S. Lee erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Selected Images, 1998-1999 im April 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 19.200,00 (€ 15.209,13).
