Auction result well in line with expectations

In May last year Sothebys in New York held the auction Modern Evening Auction, which included this untitled work by Barnett Newman. The price achieved of USD 1,865,000.00 (€ 1,737,955.46) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 1,500,000.00 – 2,000,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Barnett Newman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Black Fire I in May 2014 with an auction result of USD 84,165,000.00 (€ 61,704,545.45).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Modern Evening Auction durch, in der auch diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Barnett Newman zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 1.865.000,00 (€ 1.737.955,46) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 1.500.000,00 – 2.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Barnett Newman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Black Fire I im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 84.165.000,00 (€ 61.704.545,45).
