Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Two Tunnels From The Right (Vertical) by James Casebere was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in July 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 20,000.00 (€ 16,986.58). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James Casebere - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Arcade, which sold at auction in September 2013 for USD 75,000.00 (€ 55,411.90).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Two Tunnels From The Right (Vertical) von James Casebere im Juli 2020 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 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 20.000,00 (€ 16.986,58) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von James Casebere mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Arcade beobachtet, die im September 2013 für USD 75.000,00 (€ 55.411,90) versteigert wurde.
