Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Fireman's Glove with Photograph (Parkett 45) by Roman Signer was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 562.50 (€ 672.38). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Roman Signer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 2 räder in February 2007 with an auction result of USD 26,400.00 (€ 19,954.65).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Fireman's Glove with Photograph (Parkett 45) von Roman Signer im September 2013 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 562,50 (€ 672,38) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Roman Signer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 2 räder im Februar 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 26.400,00 (€ 19.954,65).
