Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Wellfleet Phone Call by Robert Bechtle was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2019. It changed hands for a price of USD 32,500.00 (€ 29,802.84) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Bechtle achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work '64 Chrysler in November 2010 with an auction result of USD 458,500.00 (€ 351,718.32).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Wellfleet Phone Call von Robert Bechtle kam im September 2019 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 32.500,00 (€ 29.802,84) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Bechtle erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit '64 Chrysler im November 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 458.500,00 (€ 351.718,32).
