Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Yocks by Barkley L. Hendricks was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,200,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 3,740,000.00 (€ 3,354,560.95). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Barkley L. Hendricks; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Stanley sold at auction in May this year with the realized price of USD 6,100,000.00 (€ 5,725,549.09).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Yocks von Barkley L. Hendricks im Mai 2019 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 1.200.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 3.740.000,00 (€ 3.354.560,95) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Barkley L. Hendricks; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Stanley im Mai diesen Jahres mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 6.100.000,00 (€ 5.725.549,09).
