Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Those from Away: Plate III by Steven Sorman was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 500.00 – 700.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 125.00 (€ 87.91). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Steven Sorman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work "Change of heart" in May 2010 with an auction result of SEK 15,000.00 (€ 1,555.91).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Those from Away: Plate III von Steven Sorman im September 2007 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 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 125,00 (€ 87,91) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Steven Sorman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit "Change of heart" im Mai 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von SEK 15.000,00 (€ 1.555,91).
