Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Silverstein's History of Playboy by Shel Silverstein was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2003. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 15,535.00 (€ 12,332.30) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Shel Silverstein have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Silverstein Among the Hippies in December 2003 with an auction result of USD 65,725.00 (€ 52,175.12).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Silverstein's History of Playboy von Shel Silverstein kam im Dezember 2003 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 15.535,00 (€ 12.332,30) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Shel Silverstein auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Silverstein Among the Hippies im Dezember 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 65.725,00 (€ 52.175,12).
