Sold at the upper estimate price
The work Tail Whip by Gajin Fujita was sold in the Contemporary Art Part II auction at Phillips in New York in May 2010. The auction ended at the price of USD 40,000.00 (€ 32,338.91), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated 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 Gajin Fujita - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Gold State Warriors, which sold at auction in May 2010 for USD 104,500.00 (€ 84,485.41).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Tail Whip von Gajin Fujita wurde im Mai 2010 in der Auktion Contemporary Art Part II bei Phillips in New York versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 40.000,00 (€ 32.338,91) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 30.000,00 – 40.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Gajin Fujita mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Gold State Warriors beobachtet, die im Mai 2010 für USD 104.500,00 (€ 84.485,41) versteigert wurde.
