This artwork by Beauford Delaney achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May last year. In the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale auction, the work without title sold for USD 239,400.00 (€ 223,091.98) - well above the upper estimate of USD 100,000.00. Admittedly, works by Beauford Delaney have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work James Baldwin in October last year with an auction result of GBP 1,026,000.00 (€ 1,195,278.64).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Beauford Delaney erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale wurde diese Arbeit ohne Titel für USD 239.400,00 (€ 223.091,98) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 100.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Beauford Delaney auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit James Baldwin im Oktober letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.026.000,00 (€ 1.195.278,64).
