Auction result misses estimated price range
In October 2009 a collector was able to acquire the work Cat by Ray Smith for USD 6,875.00 (€ 4,659.44). This price was achieved in the auction Latin America at Phillips in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ray Smith - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work El chubasco (triptych), which sold at auction in May 2001 for USD 14,100.00 (€ 16,676.52).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Oktober 2009 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Cat von Ray Smith für USD 6.875,00 (€ 4.659,44) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Latin America bei Phillips in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Ray Smith mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit El chubasco (triptych) beobachtet, die im Mai 2001 für USD 14.100,00 (€ 16.676,52) versteigert wurde.
