Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Big Sisters Are Like That, 1964 by Betye Saar was sold in the Made in CaliforniaContemporary Art auction at Bonhams in Los Angeles in April last year. The price achieved of USD 3,825.00 (€ 3,630.07) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Betye Saar achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Her Story in May this year with an auction result of USD 315,000.00 (€ 295,663.60).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Big Sisters Are Like That, 1964 von Betye Saar wurde im April letzten Jahres in der Auktion Made in CaliforniaContemporary Art bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.825,00 (€ 3.630,07) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Betye Saar erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Her Story im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 315.000,00 (€ 295.663,60).
