Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Crossing The River Styx (Orpheus) by Varujan Boghosian was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in June 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 7,500.00 (€ 5,764.80). Other works by Varujan Boghosian have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in April 2010 by the work Night at USD 13,750.00 (€ 10,336.79).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Crossing The River Styx (Orpheus) von Varujan Boghosian im Juni 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 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 7.500,00 (€ 5.764,80) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Varujan Boghosian wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im April 2010 die Arbeit Night mit USD 13.750,00 (€ 10.336,79).
