Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Three Works from the Sexism Series: Sexist (Sexism Study), Boxer (Sexism Study), and Sexism by Benny Andrews was auctioned at Bonhams in May this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 637.50 (€ 598.37). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Benny Andrews achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Bath in May last year with an auction result of USD 9,450.00 (€ 8,806.26).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Three Works from the Sexism Series: Sexist (Sexism Study), Boxer (Sexism Study), and Sexism von Benny Andrews im Mai diesen Jahres bei Bonhams versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 637,50 (€ 598,37) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Benny Andrews erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Bath im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 9.450,00 (€ 8.806,26).
