Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2021 Phillips in London held the auction Photographs, which included the work Boss Boy, Randfontein Estates Goldmine by David Goldblatt. The price achieved of GBP 15,120.00 (€ 17,752.30) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David Goldblatt - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Selected Images of South Africa, which sold at auction in October 2017 for USD 60,000.00 (€ 51,510.99).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2021 führte Phillips in London die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Boss Boy, Randfontein Estates Goldmine von David Goldblatt zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 15.120,00 (€ 17.752,30) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von David Goldblatt mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Selected Images of South Africa beobachtet, die im Oktober 2017 für USD 60.000,00 (€ 51.510,99) versteigert wurde.
