Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Interesting Book by Seymour Joseph Guy was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2017. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 8,125.00 (€ 6,828.88) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Seymour Joseph Guy achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Story Of Golden Locks in December 2008 with an auction result of USD 218,500.00 (€ 156,979.67).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Interesting Book von Seymour Joseph Guy kam im November 2017 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 8.125,00 (€ 6.828,88) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Seymour Joseph Guy erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Story Of Golden Locks im Dezember 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 218.500,00 (€ 156.979,67).
