Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by George Nakashima achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in July 2015. In the CONTEMPORARY LIVING – Photographs, Prints & Design auction, the work "Mira" Chair sold for USD 2,000.00 (€ 1,813.57) - well above the upper estimate of USD 900.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Nakashima achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Exceptional free-form “Minguren I” coffee table in May 2010 with an auction result of USD 86,500.00 (€ 69,932.90).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Nakashima erzielte im Juli 2015 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion CONTEMPORARY LIVING – Photographs, Prints & Design wurde die Arbeit "Mira" Chair für USD 2.000,00 (€ 1.813,57) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 900,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Nakashima erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Exceptional free-form “Minguren I” coffee table im Mai 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 86.500,00 (€ 69.932,90).
