Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work 'T.R.-Outdoorsman and Conservationist' by Bob Scriver was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2003, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 2,390.00 (€ 2,192.66). Admittedly, works by Bob Scriver have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work An Honest Try in February 2019 with an auction result of USD 15,000.00 (€ 13,182.18).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit 'T.R.-Outdoorsman and Conservationist' von Bob Scriver im März 2003 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 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 2.390,00 (€ 2.192,66) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Bob Scriver auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit An Honest Try im Februar 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 15.000,00 (€ 13.182,18).
