Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Our First Boat by Raimonds Staprans was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 7,000.00 – 10,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 6,250.00 (€ 4,216.99). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Raimonds Staprans achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Morning Mist, 1986 in September last year with an auction result of USD 189,375.00 (€ 193,575.59).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Our First Boat von Raimonds Staprans im April 2011 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 7.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 6.250,00 (€ 4.216,99) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Raimonds Staprans erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Morning Mist, 1986 im September letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 189.375,00 (€ 193.575,59).
