This artwork by Amos Ferguson achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2020. In the Outsider Art auction, the work People with Conch Shells, 1983 sold for USD 7,500.00 (€ 6,761.02) - well above the upper estimate of USD 4,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Amos Ferguson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Gully Birds, 1986, which sold at auction in February last year for USD 23,750.00 (€ 21,160.01).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 88 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Amos Ferguson erzielte im Januar 2020 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Outsider Art wurde die Arbeit People with Conch Shells, 1983 für USD 7.500,00 (€ 6.761,02) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 4.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Amos Ferguson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Gully Birds, 1986 beobachtet, die im Februar letzten Jahres für USD 23.750,00 (€ 21.160,01) versteigert wurde.
