Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Roy Lichtenstein could be acquired at Christies in New York in May this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Masterpieces from the S.I. Newhouse Collection auction, the work Rouen Cathedral, Set IV changed hands for USD 15,360,000.00 (€ 14,417,120.33) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 18,000,000.00 – 25,000,000.00. Admittedly, works by Roy Lichtenstein have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Nurse in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 95,365,000.00 (€ 90,290,664.65).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Roy Lichtenstein konnte im Mai diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Masterpieces from the S.I. Newhouse Collection wechselte die Arbeit Rouen Cathedral, Set IV für USD 15.360.000,00 (€ 14.417.120,33) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 18.000.000,00 – 25.000.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Roy Lichtenstein auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Nurse im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 95.365.000,00 (€ 90.290.664,65).
