Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work I'M Not A Fig-Plucker, Nor A Fig Plucker'S Son, But I'Ll Pluck Your Figs 'Til A Fig Plucker Comes by Edward Kienholz was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 30,000.00 – 40,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 25,000.00 (€ 20,292.21). Admittedly, works by Edward Kienholz have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Future as an Afterthought in May 2003 with an auction result of USD 141,900.00 (€ 120,601.73).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit I'M Not A Fig-Plucker, Nor A Fig Plucker'S Son, But I'Ll Pluck Your Figs 'Til A Fig Plucker Comes von Edward Kienholz im März 2018 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 30.000,00 – 40.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 25.000,00 (€ 20.292,21) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Edward Kienholz auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Future as an Afterthought im Mai 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 141.900,00 (€ 120.601,73).
