Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work West Texas Holidays 16 x 32 in. framed 25 x 41 in. by Tom Ryan was auctioned at Bonhams in Los Angeles in December last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 2,550.00 (€ 2,383.62). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Tom Ryan achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Starry Night in February 2019 with an auction result of USD 50,000.00 (€ 43,940.59).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit West Texas Holidays 16 x 32 in. framed 25 x 41 in. von Tom Ryan im Dezember letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 2.550,00 (€ 2.383,62) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Tom Ryan erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Starry Night im Februar 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 43.940,59).
