Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Lady in Robe (The Performer) by Walt Kuhn was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 175,000.00 (€ 154,552.68). Admittedly, works by Walt Kuhn have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Chico in a Silk Hat in November 2021 with an auction result of USD 1,590,000.00 (€ 1,408,700.27).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Lady in Robe (The Performer) von Walt Kuhn im November 2018 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 175.000,00 (€ 154.552,68) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Walt Kuhn auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Chico in a Silk Hat im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.590.000,00 (€ 1.408.700,27).
