Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work 'Classic Elvis' by Robert Silvers was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 13,750.00 (€ 10,611.21). Admittedly, works by Robert Silvers have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Dollar Bill in October 2004 with an auction result of GBP 53,775.00 (€ 77,397.02).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit 'Classic Elvis' von Robert Silvers im Oktober 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 15.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 13.750,00 (€ 10.611,21) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Robert Silvers auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Dollar Bill im Oktober 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 53.775,00 (€ 77.397,02).
