Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Obama by Dawoud Bey was sold in the TO LIVE WITH ART: Property from the Jerome & Ellen Stern Collection auction at Sothebys in New York in March 2018. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 5,250.00 (€ 4,261.36) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Dawoud Bey achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled #25 (Lake Erie and Sky) from Night Coming Tenderly, Black in October this year with an auction result of USD 50,800.00 (€ 48,069.64).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Obama von Dawoud Bey wurde im März 2018 in der Auktion TO LIVE WITH ART: Property from the Jerome & Ellen Stern Collection bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 5.250,00 (€ 4.261,36) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Dawoud Bey erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled #25 (Lake Erie and Sky) from Night Coming Tenderly, Black im Oktober diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 50.800,00 (€ 48.069,64).
