Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Bee stung lips and the young tongue by Steven Gontarski was auctioned at Phillips in London in October 2010, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 4,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 500.00 (€ 576.51). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Steven Gontarski achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Monuments to Doubt. in December 2021 with an auction result of EUR 5,950.00.

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Bee stung lips and the young tongue von Steven Gontarski im Oktober 2010 bei Phillips in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 4.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 500,00 (€ 576,51) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Steven Gontarski erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Monuments to Doubt. im Dezember 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 5.950,00.
