go/be unsold

The two stand-out jewels among the 63 lots were a blue period Picasso and a Monet waterlily painting, both with estimates of between £30m-40m and even higher expectations. But the Picasso sold at its low-end estimate – for £31m – and a final bid of £29m for the Monet meant it went unsold. In total, 16 lots were unsold. But the messages were mixed. Amid the disappointing lots was the fact that £152.5m was paid overall, a record for an art auction in the UK.

落札できず、流れてしまうことを表現して「流札」という
Note from asker:
Thank you for your explanation. I understand the concept now. However, "go unsold" is the way this is commonly and idiomatically expressed in English.

ending from a lack of bids, or a reserve price not being met

- (Auction segment) ending from a lack bids or the inability to reach the desired/reserve price.

- In an auction, when bids don’t come in, or if the desired price/reserve price (希望価格,リザーブ価格) isn’t met, the segment is ended or cancelled.

落札 落札とは、入札した結果アイテムを競り落とし自分のものとすることです。

流札 流札とは、出品中アイテムが落札されることなく、終了時間を迎えることです。

- - -Here is a website that talks about流札 and encourages the seller to relist his/her item(s):

If you've been discouraged by an item of yours that didn't sell (either due to lack of bids or a reserve price that wasn't met), don't lose hope. While there are no guarantees that a relisted item will sell on the second try, understanding eBay's relisting process—plus some deftly applied listing adjustments—could help result in a successful and cost-effective sale that awaits you on a next go-around.

3.2 Cancelling an Auction
A Fun Bid Auction may be cancelled at anytime:

a. If an Auction has failed to reach the required number of Bids during an acceptable time frame as determined by Fun Bid.

Alternatively, if the seller has set a minimum sale price in advance (the 'reserve' price) and the final bid does not reach that price the item remains unsold.[14]

Excuse me...There should be no comma in my answer. It should be:
"ending from a lack of bids or a reserve price not being met"
