In May 2020 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art Day: An Online Auction, which included this untitled work by Andro Wekua. The »bidding war« ended at USD 15,000.00 (€ 13,515.95), 25% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Andro Wekua - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Workshop Report (Full Portfolio), which sold at auction in October 2014 for GBP 35,000.00 (€ 44,689.94).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2020 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art Day: An Online Auction durch, in der auch diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Andro Wekua zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 15.000,00 (€ 13.515,95) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Andro Wekua mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Workshop Report (Full Portfolio) beobachtet, die im Oktober 2014 für GBP 35.000,00 (€ 44.689,94) versteigert wurde.
