Auction result well in line with expectations
In August this year Bonhams in Los Angeles held the auction American Art Online, which included the work Skater by LeRoy Neiman. The price achieved of USD 1,216.00 (€ 1,121.87) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im August diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in Los Angeles die Auktion American Art Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Skater von LeRoy Neiman zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 1.216,00 (€ 1.121,87) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. 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).
