Auction result well in line with expectations
The work New York, N.Y., 1949 by Louis Faurer was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2021. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 3,500.00 (€ 2,909.39) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Louis Faurer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Park Avenue Garage in October 2007 with an auction result of USD 133,000.00 (€ 91,927.01).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit New York, N.Y., 1949 von Louis Faurer kam im April 2021 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 3.500,00 (€ 2.909,39) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Louis Faurer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Park Avenue Garage im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 133.000,00 (€ 91.927,01).
