Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Stairway To The Sea by Will Barnet was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in August 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 700.00 – 1,200.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 637.50 (€ 580.13). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Will Barnet achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Silent Seasons - Summer No. Ii in April 2015 with an auction result of USD 118,750.00 (€ 106,387.74).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Stairway To The Sea von Will Barnet im August 2019 bei Bonhams in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 700,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 637,50 (€ 580,13) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Will Barnet erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Silent Seasons - Summer No. Ii im April 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 118.750,00 (€ 106.387,74).
