Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Billy Sullivan could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in March 2009 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Contemporary auction, the work Louie & Patti changed hands for USD 5,000.00 (€ 3,770.45) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 7,000.00 – 10,000.00. Admittedly, works by Billy Sullivan have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Missy and Nathan in May 2009 with an auction result of USD 25,000.00 (€ 17,697.86).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Billy Sullivan konnte im März 2009 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Contemporary wechselte die Arbeit Louie & Patti für USD 5.000,00 (€ 3.770,45) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 7.000,00 – 10.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Billy Sullivan auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Missy and Nathan im Mai 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 17.697,86).
