Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Gericault by LeRoy Neiman was auctioned at Bonhams in Los Angeles in August this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 800.00 – 1,200.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 768.00 (€ 708.55). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by LeRoy Neiman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Football Star Constellation in April 2015 with an auction result of USD 430,000.00 (€ 385,235.62).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Gericault von LeRoy Neiman im August diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 768,00 (€ 708,55) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von LeRoy Neiman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Football Star Constellation im April 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 430.000,00 (€ 385.235,62).
