Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Into the Blue or Marilyn Monroe in Heaven, 1976 by Norman Stiegelmeyer was auctioned at Bonhams in Los Angeles in June 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 3,825.00 (€ 3,405.75). Other works by Norman Stiegelmeyer have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in October 2018 by the work Untitled, 1982 at USD 5,250.00 (€ 4,632.90).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Into the Blue or Marilyn Monroe in Heaven, 1976 von Norman Stiegelmeyer im Juni 2020 bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 3.825,00 (€ 3.405,75) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Norman Stiegelmeyer wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Oktober 2018 die Arbeit Untitled, 1982 mit USD 5.250,00 (€ 4.632,90).
