Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November this year Bonhams in New York held the auction Post-War & Contemporary Art, which included the work Study for Negro Sunshine #68 by Glenn Ligon. Here, the upper estimate of USD 25,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 28,160.00 (€ 25,815.91). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Glenn Ligon achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (I Was Somebody) in November 2014 with an auction result of USD 3,973,000.00 (€ 3,194,243.45).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Study for Negro Sunshine #68 von Glenn Ligon zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 25.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 28.160,00 (€ 25.815,91) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Glenn Ligon erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (I Was Somebody) im November 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.973.000,00 (€ 3.194.243,45).
