Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Robert Melee could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in June 2013 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Contemporary Art auction, the work Untitled (Black Bent Curtain) changed hands for USD 313.00 (€ 240.58) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Melee achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Not Sure in November 2009 with an auction result of USD 9,375.00 (€ 6,252.50).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Robert Melee konnte im Juni 2013 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Contemporary Art wechselte die Arbeit Untitled (Black Bent Curtain) für USD 313,00 (€ 240,58) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Melee erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Not Sure im November 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 9.375,00 (€ 6.252,50).
