Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Homage to the Romantic Ballet by Joseph Cornell was sold in the Modern Day Auction auction at Sothebys in New York in May last year. It achieved a price of USD 35,280.00 (€ 32,876.71), 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 Joseph Cornell achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Medici Slot Machine in May 2014 with an auction result of USD 7,781,000.00 (€ 5,704,545.45).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Homage to the Romantic Ballet von Joseph Cornell wurde im Mai letzten Jahres in der Auktion Modern Day Auction bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 35.280,00 (€ 32.876,71) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 18%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joseph Cornell erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Medici Slot Machine im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 7.781.000,00 (€ 5.704.545,45).
