Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Nude by Sandy's Window, 1956 by Wynn Bullock was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 2,125.00 (€ 1,897.15). Admittedly, works by Wynn Bullock have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Selected Images in October 2008 with an auction result of USD 12,500.00 (€ 9,856.49).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Nude by Sandy's Window, 1956 von Wynn Bullock im April 2019 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 2.125,00 (€ 1.897,15) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Wynn Bullock auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Selected Images im Oktober 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 12.500,00 (€ 9.856,49).
