Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The Back of the Ketter House in Marlboro 15 x 20 in. (38.1 x 50.8 cm) by Wolf Kahn was auctioned at Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts in November this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 4,000.00 – 7,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 2,560.00 (€ 2,346.90). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wolf Kahn achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Atlantic Highlands in November 2021 with an auction result of USD 212,500.00 (€ 188,269.69).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The Back of the Ketter House in Marlboro 15 x 20 in. (38.1 x 50.8 cm) von Wolf Kahn im November diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 4.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 2.560,00 (€ 2.346,90) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wolf Kahn erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Atlantic Highlands im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 212.500,00 (€ 188.269,69).
