Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Claes Oldenburg could be acquired at Bonhams in Los Angeles in January 2024 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Prints & Multiples auction, the work Study for Steel and Lead Ashtray changed hands for USD 460.80 (€ 402.73) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 600.00 – 900.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Claes Oldenburg achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Clothespin Ten Foot in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 3,637,000.00 (€ 3,443,476.61).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Claes Oldenburg konnte im Januar 2024 bei Bonhams in Los Angeles für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Prints & Multiples wechselte die Arbeit Study for Steel and Lead Ashtray für USD 460,80 (€ 402,73) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 600,00 – 900,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Claes Oldenburg erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Clothespin Ten Foot im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.637.000,00 (€ 3.443.476,61).
