Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Works Left By The Novelist by Guy de Cointet was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 16,250.00 (€ 12,868.23). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Guy de Cointet - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Note from Ethiopia, which sold at auction in September last year for USD 32,760.00 (€ 33,486.66).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Works Left By The Novelist von Guy de Cointet im September 2014 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 16.250,00 (€ 12.868,23) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Guy de Cointet mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Note from Ethiopia beobachtet, die im September letzten Jahres für USD 32.760,00 (€ 33.486,66) versteigert wurde.
