Artwork auctioned at 11 times the upper estimate price
When this work without title by Charles Tracy was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 11 times as high at USD 2,394.00 (€ 2,055.46). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles Tracy - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in October 2020 for USD 5,670.00 (€ 4,868.21).
Kunstwerk zum Elffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit ohne Titel von Charles Tracy im Oktober 2020 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 200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 2.394,00 (€ 2.055,46) mehr als elfmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Charles Tracy mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit ohne Titel beobachtet, die im Oktober 2020 für USD 5.670,00 (€ 4.868,21) versteigert wurde.
