Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Himmel Iv by Oliver Boberg was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2009, 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 4,375.00 (€ 2,990.43). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Oliver Boberg - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Himmel Iv, which sold at auction in May 2006 for USD 8,400.00 (€ 6,545.62).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Himmel Iv von Oliver Boberg im September 2009 bei Sothebys 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 4.375,00 (€ 2.990,43) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Oliver Boberg mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Himmel Iv beobachtet, die im Mai 2006 für USD 8.400,00 (€ 6.545,62) versteigert wurde.
