Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait Of A Man In Polish Costume, Half-Length, Said To Be A Self Portrait by The Monogrammist IS was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 16,800.00 (€ 12,925.07). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by The Monogrammist IS achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of An Elderly Woman, Looking Left in December 2010 with an auction result of GBP 577,250.00 (€ 669,608.26).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of A Man In Polish Costume, Half-Length, Said To Be A Self Portrait von The Monogrammist IS im Januar 2007 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 16.800,00 (€ 12.925,07) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von The Monogrammist IS erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of An Elderly Woman, Looking Left im Dezember 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 577.250,00 (€ 669.608,26).
