Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Richard Stankiewicz could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in September 2017 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Contemporary Curated auction, the work The Golden Bird Is Often Sad  changed hands for USD 35,000.00 (€ 29,628.38) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Richard Stankiewicz - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Playful Bathers, which sold at auction in May 2012 for USD 134,500.00 (€ 108,783.57).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Richard Stankiewicz konnte im September 2017 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Contemporary Curated wechselte die Arbeit The Golden Bird Is Often Sad  für USD 35.000,00 (€ 29.628,38) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Richard Stankiewicz mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Playful Bathers beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für USD 134.500,00 (€ 108.783,57) versteigert wurde.
