Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Ghost Of A Hero, 'Circa' 1960 by Tony Rosenthal was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in July 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 4,750.00 (€ 4,057.75). Admittedly, works by Tony Rosenthal have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work without title in September 2017 with an auction result of USD 35,000.00 (€ 29,628.38).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Ghost Of A Hero, 'Circa' 1960 von Tony Rosenthal im Juli 2018 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 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 4.750,00 (€ 4.057,75) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Tony Rosenthal auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit ohne Titel im September 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 35.000,00 (€ 29.628,38).
