Auction result misses estimated price range
In November 2019 a collector was able to acquire the work Wrested From Mirrors (Mason 89) by Kurt Seligmann for USD 1,625.00 (€ 1,474.73). This price was achieved in the auction The Sleep of Reason Part II | A Private Collection of Surrealist Art Online at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kurt Seligmann achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Witches in February 2015 with an auction result of GBP 173,000.00 (€ 238,541.31).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im November 2019 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Wrested From Mirrors (Mason 89) von Kurt Seligmann für USD 1.625,00 (€ 1.474,73) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion The Sleep of Reason Part II | A Private Collection of Surrealist Art Online bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Kurt Seligmann erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Witches im Februar 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 173.000,00 (€ 238.541,31).
