Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Way You Look Tonight / Diagonal Graciousness by Barkley L. Hendricks was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 300,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 960,500.00 (€ 854,841.58). Admittedly, works by Barkley L. Hendricks have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Stanley in May this year with an auction result of USD 6,100,000.00 (€ 5,725,549.09).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Way You Look Tonight / Diagonal Graciousness von Barkley L. Hendricks im Mai 2017 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 300.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 960.500,00 (€ 854.841,58) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Barkley L. Hendricks auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Stanley im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.100.000,00 (€ 5.725.549,09).
