Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2020 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art Day Auction: Online, which included the work Negative Painting by Augustus Thompson. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 3,024.00 (€ 2,530.97) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Augustus Thompson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Natural Order (#2), which sold at auction in July 2015 for GBP 3,750.00 (€ 5,316.24).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2020 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction: Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Negative Painting von Augustus Thompson zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 3.024,00 (€ 2.530,97) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Augustus Thompson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Natural Order (#2) beobachtet, die im Juli 2015 für GBP 3.750,00 (€ 5.316,24) versteigert wurde.
