Auction result well in line with expectations

In April last year Phillips in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work The Apple of Adam’s Eye by Carrie Mae Weems. It changed hands for a price of USD 22,680.00 (€ 21,524.15) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Carrie Mae Weems achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Kitchen Table Series in November 2019 with an auction result of USD 237,500.00 (€ 215,536.80).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im April letzten Jahres führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Apple of Adam’s Eye von Carrie Mae Weems zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 22.680,00 (€ 21.524,15) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Carrie Mae Weems erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Kitchen Table Series im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 237.500,00 (€ 215.536,80).
