Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Kiyoshi by Abraham David Christian was auctioned at Christies in New York in April this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 800.00 – 1,200.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 504.00 (€ 456.52). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Abraham David Christian achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sculpture in November 2019 with an auction result of EUR 45,000.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Kiyoshi von Abraham David Christian im April diesen Jahres 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 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 504,00 (€ 456,52) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Abraham David Christian erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sculpture im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 45.000,00.
