Auction result misses estimated price range
In October 2018 a collector was able to acquire the work His Mistress’ Toy by Sylvie Fleury for USD 625 (€ 552). This price was achieved in the auction The Collection of Melva Bucksbaum: Post-War and Contemporary Art, Photographs and Prints at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 800 – 1,200 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sylvie Fleury achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work in May 2017 with an auction result of USD 162,500 (€ 144,624).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Oktober 2018 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit His Mistress’ Toy von Sylvie Fleury für USD 625 (€ 552) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion The Collection of Melva Bucksbaum: Post-War and Contemporary Art, Photographs and Prints bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 800 – 1.200. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sylvie Fleury erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit im Mai 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 162.500 (€ 144.624).
