Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Rolph Scarlett could be acquired at Bonhams in Los Angeles in November this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the American Art auction, the work Anthropomorphic Abstraction changed hands for USD 1,920.00 (€ 1,760.18) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rolph Scarlett achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 87,500.00 (€ 77,276.34).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Rolph Scarlett konnte im November diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Los Angeles für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion American Art wechselte die Arbeit Anthropomorphic Abstraction für USD 1.920,00 (€ 1.760,18) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Rolph Scarlett erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 87.500,00 (€ 77.276,34).
