Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Cashdollars (T. 21) by Peggy Bacon was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2000, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 940.00 (€ 1,034.22). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Peggy Bacon - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Few Ideas, which sold at auction in August this year for USD 3,528.00 (€ 3,254.91).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Cashdollars (T. 21) von Peggy Bacon im April 2000 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 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 940,00 (€ 1.034,22) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Peggy Bacon mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Few Ideas beobachtet, die im August diesen Jahres für USD 3.528,00 (€ 3.254,91) versteigert wurde.
