Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Sid Avery could be acquired at Christies in New York in December 2011 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Photographs auction, the work Elizabeth Taylor, 1955 changed hands for USD 2,000.00 (€ 1,541.66) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sid Avery achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Cast of Oceans Eleven; Nick Conti, Jerry Lester, Joey Bishop, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Akim Tameroff, Richard Benedict, Henry Silva, Norman Fell and Clem Harvey in April 2015 with an auction result of USD 17,500.00 (€ 15,678.19).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Sid Avery konnte im Dezember 2011 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Photographs wechselte die Arbeit Elizabeth Taylor, 1955 für USD 2.000,00 (€ 1.541,66) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.500,00 – 3.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sid Avery erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Cast of Oceans Eleven; Nick Conti, Jerry Lester, Joey Bishop, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Akim Tameroff, Richard Benedict, Henry Silva, Norman Fell and Clem Harvey im April 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 17.500,00 (€ 15.678,19).
