In May last year Christies in New York held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale, which included this untitled work by David Smith. The »bidding war« ended at USD 63,000.00 (€ 58,708.41), 26% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 26 % übertroffen
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale durch, in der auch diese Arbeit ohne Titel von David Smith zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 63.000,00 (€ 58.708,41) und damit 26% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
