Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2020 Sothebys in New York held the auction Hip Hop, which included the work Big Daddy Kane. Silkscreen. 2017. by Janette Beckman. The price achieved of USD 3,528.00 (€ 3,010.75) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Janette Beckman - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Run Dmc, 1984, Hollis, Queens (Silver Border). Silkscreen. 2017., which sold at auction in September 2020 for USD 8,190.00 (€ 6,989.25).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2020 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Hip Hop durch, in der auch die Arbeit Big Daddy Kane. Silkscreen. 2017. von Janette Beckman zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.528,00 (€ 3.010,75) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Janette Beckman mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Run Dmc, 1984, Hollis, Queens (Silver Border). Silkscreen. 2017. beobachtet, die im September 2020 für USD 8.190,00 (€ 6.989,25) versteigert wurde.
