Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Tom Ryan could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in March 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Majestic America: Property from an Important Western Collector, Part II auction, the work No Contest (Trouble at the Creek) changed hands for USD 6,930.00 (€ 5,901.39) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00.

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Tom Ryan konnte im März 2021 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Majestic America: Property from an Important Western Collector, Part II wechselte die Arbeit No Contest (Trouble at the Creek) für USD 6.930,00 (€ 5.901,39) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Tom Ryan auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Starry Night im Februar 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 43.940,59).
