Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work 'Dust Storm, Cimarron County, Oklahoma' by Arthur Rothstein was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 16,250.00 (€ 12,340.52). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Arthur Rothstein - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Farmer and sons walking in the face of a dust storm, Cimarron County, Oklahoma, which sold at auction in April 2001 for USD 23,500.00 (€ 26,481.86).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit 'Dust Storm, Cimarron County, Oklahoma' von Arthur Rothstein im April 2013 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 16.250,00 (€ 12.340,52) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Arthur Rothstein mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Farmer and sons walking in the face of a dust storm, Cimarron County, Oklahoma beobachtet, die im April 2001 für USD 23.500,00 (€ 26.481,86) versteigert wurde.
