Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Neglected Goosepimples by Robert Melee was auctioned at Christies in October 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 700.00 – 1,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 250.00 (€ 296.18). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Melee achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Not Sure in November 2009 with an auction result of USD 9,375.00 (€ 6,252.50).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Neglected Goosepimples von Robert Melee im Oktober 2021 bei Christies versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 700,00 – 1.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 250,00 (€ 296,18) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Melee erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Not Sure im November 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 9.375,00 (€ 6.252,50).
