Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Hugh Steers achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in March last year. In the Contemporary Discoveries auction, the work Red and Green Striped Bedspread sold for USD 18,900.00 (€ 17,037.77) - well above the upper estimate of USD 9,000.00.

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Hugh Steers erzielte im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Discoveries wurde die Arbeit Red and Green Striped Bedspread für USD 18.900,00 (€ 17.037,77) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 9.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Hugh Steers auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit T-Shirt and Panties im September letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 126.000,00 (€ 128.794,85).
