Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Robert Ryman could be acquired at Christies in New York in May this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part I auction, the work File changed hands for USD 1,562,500.00 (€ 1,466,585.32) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 2,000,000.00 – 3,000,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Ryman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in May last year with an auction result of USD 20,141,250.00 (€ 18,769,220.02).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Robert Ryman konnte im Mai diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part I wechselte die Arbeit File für USD 1.562.500,00 (€ 1.466.585,32) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.000.000,00 – 3.000.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Ryman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 20.141.250,00 (€ 18.769.220,02).
