Upper estimate price exceeded by 35 %.

In March 2020 Christies in New York held the auction Post-War to Present, which included the work No. 93 by Derek Fordjour. The »bidding war« ended at USD 81,250.00 (€ 73,669.42), 35% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Derek Fordjour achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ornithologist in May last year with an auction result of USD 945,000.00 (€ 880,626.22).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 35 % übertroffen

Im März 2020 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Post-War to Present durch, in der auch die Arbeit No. 93 von Derek Fordjour zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 81.250,00 (€ 73.669,42) und damit 35% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Derek Fordjour erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Ornithologist im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 945.000,00 (€ 880.626,22).
