Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Moonsnails, 1978 and Doll and Roses, 1980 by Olivia Parker was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2006, 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 1,320.00 (€ 1,040.44). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Olivia Parker achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ephemera: Photographs by Olivia Parker in October 2003 with an auction result of USD 15,535.00 (€ 13,381.86).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Moonsnails, 1978 and Doll and Roses, 1980 von Olivia Parker im September 2006 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 1.320,00 (€ 1.040,44) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Olivia Parker erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Ephemera: Photographs by Olivia Parker im Oktober 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 15.535,00 (€ 13.381,86).
