Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Steven Parrino could be acquired at Christies in New York in May this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part II auction, the work The Caustic Pill changed hands for USD 340,200.00 (€ 319,316.69) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 500,000.00 – 700,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Steven Parrino - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Idol/Idiot, which sold at auction in June 2013 for GBP 566,500.00 (€ 661,206.96).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Steven Parrino konnte im Mai diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part II wechselte die Arbeit The Caustic Pill für USD 340.200,00 (€ 319.316,69) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 500.000,00 – 700.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Steven Parrino mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Idol/Idiot beobachtet, die im Juni 2013 für GBP 566.500,00 (€ 661.206,96) versteigert wurde.
