Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work The Shot by Ernie Barnes was sold in the American Art auction at Bonhams in Paris in May this year. Here, the upper estimate of USD 500,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 508,500.00 (€ 477,285.53). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ernie Barnes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Sugar Shack in May last year with an auction result of USD 15,275,000.00 (€ 14,234,460.91).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit The Shot von Ernie Barnes wurde im Mai diesen Jahres in der Auktion American Art bei Bonhams in Paris versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 500.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 508.500,00 (€ 477.285,53) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ernie Barnes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Sugar Shack im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 15.275.000,00 (€ 14.234.460,91).
