Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Alexander Calder could be acquired at Christies in New York in May this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part I auction, the work Caged Stone on Yellow Stalk changed hands for USD 3,196,000.00 (€ 2,999,812.28) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 4,000,000.00 – 6,000,000.00. Admittedly, works by Alexander Calder have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Poisson volant (Flying Fish) in May 2014 with an auction result of USD 25,925,000.00 (€ 19,006,598.24).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Alexander Calder konnte im Mai diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part I wechselte die Arbeit Caged Stone on Yellow Stalk für USD 3.196.000,00 (€ 2.999.812,28) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 4.000.000,00 – 6.000.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Alexander Calder auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Poisson volant (Flying Fish) im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 25.925.000,00 (€ 19.006.598,24).
