Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work 'Reflection In Window Pane Of Empire State Building' by Sherril Schell was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,875.00 (€ 1,423.91). Admittedly, works by Sherril Schell have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Pattern of Light and Shadow Under Elevated R.R. Looking Up, 1930 in November 2007 with an auction result of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 7,001.29).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit 'Reflection In Window Pane Of Empire State Building' von Sherril Schell im April 2013 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 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.875,00 (€ 1.423,91) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Sherril Schell auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Pattern of Light and Shadow Under Elevated R.R. Looking Up, 1930 im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.000,00 (€ 7.001,29).
