Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Cleaning Fish by Walter Stuempfig was auctioned at Christies in New York in February 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,500.00 (€ 1,122.84). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Walter Stuempfig achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Boys Playing in a Square, Philadelphia in March 2015 with an auction result of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 11,233.24).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Cleaning Fish von Walter Stuempfig im Februar 2012 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 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.500,00 (€ 1.122,84) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Walter Stuempfig erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Boys Playing in a Square, Philadelphia im März 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 8.125,00 (€ 11.233,24).
