Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Sculpture Court by Hilary Pecis was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 100,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 403,200.00 (€ 357,225.13). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hilary Pecis - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Fish and Bird, which sold at auction in March last year for GBP 942,500.00 (€ 1,117,439.83).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Sculpture Court von Hilary Pecis im November 2021 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 100.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 403.200,00 (€ 357.225,13) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Hilary Pecis mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Fish and Bird beobachtet, die im März letzten Jahres für GBP 942.500,00 (€ 1.117.439,83) versteigert wurde.
