Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Robert Crumb could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in September 2009 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Contemporary Art auction, the work Untitled (First Encounter) changed hands for USD 6,250.00 (€ 4,272.04) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Crumb achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Vulture Goddess in November 2014 with an auction result of USD 221,000.00 (€ 177,681.30).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Robert Crumb konnte im September 2009 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Contemporary Art wechselte die Arbeit Untitled (First Encounter) für USD 6.250,00 (€ 4.272,04) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Crumb erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Vulture Goddess im November 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 221.000,00 (€ 177.681,30).
