Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Tell me, Mr. Silverstein -- is it true what they say about American women? by Shel Silverstein was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2003. The price achieved of USD 3,585.00 (€ 2,845.92) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 4,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Shel Silverstein achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached 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 Tell me, Mr. Silverstein -- is it true what they say about American women? von Shel Silverstein kam im Dezember 2003 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.585,00 (€ 2.845,92) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 4.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Shel Silverstein erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Silverstein Among the Hippies im Dezember 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 65.725,00 (€ 52.175,12).
