Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Waiting - West 4th by Stickymonger was auctioned at Christies in New York in October this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of HKD 10,000.00 – 20,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for HKD 3,780.00 (€ 457.12). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Stickymonger achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Strawberry Stalkers - Happy Together in July last year with an auction result of HKD 1,638,000.00 (€ 204,388.75).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Waiting - West 4th von Stickymonger im Oktober diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 10.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für HKD 3.780,00 (€ 457,12) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Stickymonger erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Strawberry Stalkers - Happy Together im Juli letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 1.638.000,00 (€ 204.388,75).
