Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Sunflowers by Aaron Bohrod was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in June 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 2,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 11,250.00 (€ 10,197.61). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Aaron Bohrod - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Street Car Riders, which sold at auction in May 2021 for USD 27,812.50 (€ 22,808.35).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Sunflowers von Aaron Bohrod im Juni 2016 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 2.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 11.250,00 (€ 10.197,61) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Aaron Bohrod mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Street Car Riders beobachtet, die im Mai 2021 für USD 27.812,50 (€ 22.808,35) versteigert wurde.
