Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work At the Border I (Walking Towards a Military Checkpoint) by Willie Doherty was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2003, 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 1,912.00 (€ 1,158.79). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Willie Doherty - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Bridge, 1992, which sold at auction in November 2013 for EUR 3,750.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit At the Border I (Walking Towards a Military Checkpoint) von Willie Doherty im September 2003 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 1.912,00 (€ 1.158,79) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Willie Doherty mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Bridge, 1992 beobachtet, die im November 2013 für EUR 3.750,00 versteigert wurde.
