Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Myopic by Dana Schutz was auctioned at Christies in New York in May last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 90,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 327,600.00 (€ 305,283.76). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Dana Schutz achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Elevator in December 2020 with an auction result of HKD 50,050,000.00 (€ 5,279,190.52).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Myopic von Dana Schutz im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 90.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 327.600,00 (€ 305.283,76) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Dana Schutz erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Elevator im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 50.050.000,00 (€ 5.279.190,52).
