Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Ahaz, 1987 by Boaz Vaadia was auctioned at Bonhams in Los Angeles in February 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 25,312.50 (€ 20,931.53). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Boaz Vaadia - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Daniyyel, which sold at auction in July 2017 for USD 75,000.00 (€ 63,419.58).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Ahaz, 1987 von Boaz Vaadia im Februar 2021 bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 25.312,50 (€ 20.931,53) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Boaz Vaadia mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Daniyyel beobachtet, die im Juli 2017 für USD 75.000,00 (€ 63.419,58) versteigert wurde.
