Auction result well in line with expectations
The work 3-29-57 by David Smith was sold in the Post-War to Present auction at Christies in October 2021. The price achieved of USD 10,625.00 (€ 9,197.54) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by David Smith achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Zig I in May 2016 with an auction result of USD 9,210,000.00 (€ 8,271,216.88).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit 3-29-57 von David Smith wurde im Oktober 2021 in der Auktion Post-War to Present bei Christies versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 10.625,00 (€ 9.197,54) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von David Smith erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Zig I im Mai 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 9.210.000,00 (€ 8.271.216,88).
