A top price for Andrew Schoultz
When the work Melting Flag 2 by Andrew Schoultz was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 4,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 27,500.00 (€ 25,997.35). This high result makes Melting Flag 2 the most expensive artwork by Andrew Schoultz that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Andrew Schoultz
Als die Arbeit Melting Flag 2 von Andrew Schoultz im November 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 4.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 27.500,00 (€ 25.997,35) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Melting Flag 2 zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Andrew Schoultz, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
