Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Magdalena Abakanowicz could be acquired at Christies in New York in September 2019 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Post-War to Present auction, the work Sad Butterfly (Butterfly A) changed hands for USD 18,750.00 (€ 17,193.95) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Magdalena Abakanowicz achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Flock (12 Standing Figures, from 'Ragazzi' Cycle) in November 2017 with an auction result of USD 480,500.00 (€ 403,849.39).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Magdalena Abakanowicz konnte im September 2019 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Post-War to Present wechselte die Arbeit Sad Butterfly (Butterfly A) für USD 18.750,00 (€ 17.193,95) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Magdalena Abakanowicz erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Flock (12 Standing Figures, from 'Ragazzi' Cycle) im November 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 480.500,00 (€ 403.849,39).
