Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work About 1789 by Tony Scherman was auctioned at Phillips in New York in April 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 2,772.00 (€ 2,304.24). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Tony Scherman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Bonaparte in May 2012 with an auction result of CAD 39,000.00 (€ 30,477.03).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit About 1789 von Tony Scherman im April 2021 bei Phillips in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 2.772,00 (€ 2.304,24) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Tony Scherman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Bonaparte im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von CAD 39.000,00 (€ 30.477,03).
