Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Magnolia II by David Bates was sold in the Western Art auction at Bonhams in Los Angeles in August 2021. The »bidding war« ended at USD 24,062.50 (€ 20,391.95), 20% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David Bates - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Trucks and Trailers, 1991, which sold at auction in September last year for USD 60,855.00 (€ 62,204.85).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Magnolia II von David Bates wurde im August 2021 in der Auktion Western Art bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 24.062,50 (€ 20.391,95) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von David Bates mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Trucks and Trailers, 1991 beobachtet, die im September letzten Jahres für USD 60.855,00 (€ 62.204,85) versteigert wurde.
