Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2012 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art, which included the work Landscape by Forrest Bess. The price achieved of USD 46,875.00 (€ 36,461.57) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Forrest Bess - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled No. 6, which sold at auction in November 2011 for USD 112,900.00 (€ 83,921.80).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2012 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Landscape von Forrest Bess zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 46.875,00 (€ 36.461,57) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Forrest Bess mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled No. 6 beobachtet, die im November 2011 für USD 112.900,00 (€ 83.921,80) versteigert wurde.
