Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Webster by Larry Rivers was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in August this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 600.00 – 800.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 384.00 (€ 354.28). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Larry Rivers achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Africa I in May 2021 with an auction result of USD 2,077,000.00 (€ 1,703,296.70).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Webster von Larry Rivers im August diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 600,00 – 800,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 384,00 (€ 354,28) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Larry Rivers erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Africa I im Mai 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.077.000,00 (€ 1.703.296,70).
