Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Early Geometric by Burgoyne Diller was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 40,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 161,000.00 (€ 116,861.44). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Burgoyne Diller; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Number 47, First Theme sold at auction in May 2021 with the realized price of USD 226,800.00 (€ 185,993.11).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Early Geometric von Burgoyne Diller im März 2014 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 40.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 161.000,00 (€ 116.861,44) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Burgoyne Diller; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Number 47, First Theme im Mai 2021 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 226.800,00 (€ 185.993,11).
