Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Sacrifice Of The Watermelon Virgin Or Shirt Off Her Back, 1987 by Barkley L. Hendricks was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in July 2018. 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 3,250.00 (€ 2,776.35) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Barkley L. Hendricks achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Stanley in May this year with an auction result of USD 6,100,000.00 (€ 5,725,549.09).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Sacrifice Of The Watermelon Virgin Or Shirt Off Her Back, 1987 von Barkley L. Hendricks kam im Juli 2018 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. 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 3.250,00 (€ 2.776,35) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Barkley L. Hendricks erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Stanley im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.100.000,00 (€ 5.725.549,09).
