Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work After Horse Thieves by Robert Duncan was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 3,750.00 (€ 2,916.93). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Robert Duncan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Catching the Wanderers, which sold at auction in February 2019 for USD 7,500.00 (€ 6,591.09).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit After Horse Thieves von Robert Duncan im September 2012 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 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 3.750,00 (€ 2.916,93) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Robert Duncan mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Catching the Wanderers beobachtet, die im Februar 2019 für USD 7.500,00 (€ 6.591,09) versteigert wurde.
