Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Softball Champs CRCI Bldg 6, 1993 by Raymond Materson was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2019. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,500.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,875.00 (€ 1,636.98) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Raymond Materson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Till Death Do Us Part, 1993 in February last year with an auction result of USD 32,500.00 (€ 28,955.81).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Softball Champs CRCI Bldg 6, 1993 von Raymond Materson kam im Januar 2019 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.500,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 1.875,00 (€ 1.636,98) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Raymond Materson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Till Death Do Us Part, 1993 im Februar letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 32.500,00 (€ 28.955,81).
