Auction result well in line with expectations
The work 'Skipping To Countdown' (Muhammad Ali, Miami) by Chris Smith was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2021. The price achieved of USD 7,560.00 (€ 6,284.29) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 6,000.00 – 9,000.00. Admittedly, works by Chris Smith have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Ali And The Beatles, 1964 in September 2018 with an auction result of GBP 43,750.00 (€ 49,136.87).
