Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Lemon-scented Myrtle by Stephen Bush was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 7,000.00 – 10,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 4,375.00 (€ 3,860.75). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Stephen Bush - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Tallow-wood, which sold at auction in May 2010 for USD 11,875.00 (€ 9,600.61).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Lemon-scented Myrtle von Stephen Bush im Oktober 2018 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 7.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 4.375,00 (€ 3.860,75) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Stephen Bush mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Tallow-wood beobachtet, die im Mai 2010 für USD 11.875,00 (€ 9.600,61) versteigert wurde.
