Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Study for The Life of Pigeons by Eric Fischl was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in December 2021. It achieved a price of USD 35,280.00 (€ 31,171.59), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 18%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Eric Fischl achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Old Man's Boat and the Old Man's Dog in May last year with an auction result of USD 4,140,000.00 (€ 3,857,981.55).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Study for The Life of Pigeons von Eric Fischl kam im Dezember 2021 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 35.280,00 (€ 31.171,59) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 18%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Eric Fischl erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Old Man's Boat and the Old Man's Dog im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 4.140.000,00 (€ 3.857.981,55).
