A top price for David Bierk - as previously expected
In May 2012 Sothebys in Toronto held the auction Important Canadian Art, which included the work A Eulogy To Life, To Manet, To Gauguin by David Bierk. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of CAD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00, the actual price achieved of CAD 26,400.00 (€ 20,630.60) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Eulogy To Life, To Manet, To Gauguin is the most expensive artwork by David Bierk that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Mai 2012 führte Sothebys in Toronto die Auktion Important Canadian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Eulogy To Life, To Manet, To Gauguin von David Bierk zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von CAD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von CAD 26.400,00 (€ 20.630,60) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A Eulogy To Life, To Manet, To Gauguin das teuerste Kunstwerk von David Bierk, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
