Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Mother and Child (Nancy and Olivia) by Alice Neel was auctioned at Phillips in New York in October last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 11,340.00 (€ 11,415.34). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alice Neel achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Dr. Finger’S Waiting Room in May 2021 with an auction result of USD 3,030,000.00 (€ 2,484,828.60).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Mother and Child (Nancy and Olivia) von Alice Neel im Oktober letzten Jahres bei Phillips in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 11.340,00 (€ 11.415,34) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alice Neel erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Dr. Finger’S Waiting Room im Mai 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.030.000,00 (€ 2.484.828,60).
