Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Untitled (Indian Summer) by Forrest Bess was sold in the Post War and Contemporary Morning Session auction at Christies in New York in May 2006. It changed hands for a price of USD 38,400.00 (€ 29,922.86) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 30,000.00 – 40,000.00. 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

Die Arbeit Untitled (Indian Summer) von Forrest Bess wurde im Mai 2006 in der Auktion Post War and Contemporary Morning Session bei Christies in New York versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 38.400,00 (€ 29.922,86) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 30.000,00 – 40.000,00. 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.
