Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Connie Chung, 1985 by Robert Heinecken was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 500.00 (€ 429.30). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Heinecken achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Cliché Vary/Lesbianism in October 2014 with an auction result of USD 149,000.00 (€ 118,914.60).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Connie Chung, 1985 von Robert Heinecken im Oktober 2020 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 500,00 (€ 429,30) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Heinecken erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Cliché Vary/Lesbianism im Oktober 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 149.000,00 (€ 118.914,60).
