Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Study for Sheriff by Philip Guston was auctioned at Christies in New York in May this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 150,000.00 – 200,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 126,000.00 (€ 118,265.44). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Philip Guston achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Strong Light in November 2021 with an auction result of USD 24,393,000.00 (€ 21,611,588.55).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Study for Sheriff von Philip Guston im Mai diesen Jahres 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 150.000,00 – 200.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 126.000,00 (€ 118.265,44) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Philip Guston erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Strong Light im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 24.393.000,00 (€ 21.611.588,55).
