This artwork by Bob Thompson achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in December last year. In the First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art auction, the work Trees and River sold for USD 88,200.00 (€ 82,445.32) - well above the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bob Thompson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Meeting Man, which sold at auction in May this year for USD 327,600.00 (€ 307,490.14).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Bob Thompson erzielte im Dezember letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Trees and River für USD 88.200,00 (€ 82.445,32) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 30.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Bob Thompson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Meeting Man beobachtet, die im Mai diesen Jahres für USD 327.600,00 (€ 307.490,14) versteigert wurde.
