Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Digger by Max Kalish was sold in the American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture auction at Sothebys in New York in April 2013. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 22,500.00 (€ 17,086.88) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Max Kalish - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 'Steelworker', which sold at auction in September 2010 for USD 50,000.00 (€ 36,762.00).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Digger von Max Kalish wurde im April 2013 in der Auktion American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 22.500,00 (€ 17.086,88) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Max Kalish mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit 'Steelworker' beobachtet, die im September 2010 für USD 50.000,00 (€ 36.762,00) versteigert wurde.
