Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait of a Man by Karina Ami was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 300.00 – 500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 252.00 (€ 217.67). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Karina Ami achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Witch in March 2021 with an auction result of USD 5,670.00 (€ 4,828.41).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait of a Man von Karina Ami im September 2021 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 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 252,00 (€ 217,67) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Karina Ami erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Witch im März 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.670,00 (€ 4.828,41).
