Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Jiří Kolář could be acquired at Sothebys in London in November 2014 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Czech Avant-Garde Art from the Roy and Mary Cullen Collection auction, the work Czech Before The Lion Came (Ne Přišel Lev) changed hands for GBP 2,250.00 (€ 2,828.87) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jiří Kolář achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Czech Tagebuch in July 2009 with an auction result of EUR 72,750.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Jiří Kolář konnte im November 2014 bei Sothebys in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Czech Avant-Garde Art from the Roy and Mary Cullen Collection wechselte die Arbeit Czech Before The Lion Came (Ne Přišel Lev) für GBP 2.250,00 (€ 2.828,87) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jiří Kolář erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Czech Tagebuch im Juli 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 72.750,00.
