Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work 'Looking Across The Colorado River To Mouth Of Paria Creek' by Timothy O'Sullivan was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,125.00 (€ 854.34). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Timothy O'Sullivan achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'Ancient Ruins In The Cañon De Chelle, N.M.' in April 2011 with an auction result of USD 134,500.00 (€ 90,749.61).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit 'Looking Across The Colorado River To Mouth Of Paria Creek' von Timothy O'Sullivan im April 2013 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 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.125,00 (€ 854,34) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Timothy O'Sullivan erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'Ancient Ruins In The Cañon De Chelle, N.M.' im April 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 134.500,00 (€ 90.749,61).
