Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Weehawken Sequence by John Marin was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 25,200.00 (€ 23,483.37). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Marin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lobster Boat, Cape Split, Maine in April this year with an auction result of USD 1,925,500.00 (€ 1,744,112.32).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Weehawken Sequence von John Marin im Mai letzten Jahres 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 – 50.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 25.200,00 (€ 23.483,37) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Marin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lobster Boat, Cape Split, Maine im April diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.925.500,00 (€ 1.744.112,32).
