Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Widespread, Adaptable; Occurring in Open Areas, Even Cities (The Great Horned Owl) by Jason Middlebrook was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 6,875.00 (€ 6,066.89). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Jason Middlebrook; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Lighting The Over And The Under sold at auction in March 2014 with the realized price of USD 10,625.00 (€ 7,712.13).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Widespread, Adaptable; Occurring in Open Areas, Even Cities (The Great Horned Owl) von Jason Middlebrook im Oktober 2018 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 6.875,00 (€ 6.066,89) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Jason Middlebrook; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Lighting The Over And The Under im März 2014 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 10.625,00 (€ 7.712,13).
