Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by William Gropper could be acquired at Christies in New York in March 2012 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture Including the Collection of Dr. Mark and Irene Kauffman auction, the work The Politician changed hands for USD 3,750.00 (€ 2,812.36) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Gropper achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Art Auction in March 2012 with an auction result of USD 56,250.00 (€ 42,185.39).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von William Gropper konnte im März 2012 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture Including the Collection of Dr. Mark and Irene Kauffman wechselte die Arbeit The Politician für USD 3.750,00 (€ 2.812,36) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Gropper erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Art Auction im März 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 56.250,00 (€ 42.185,39).
