Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Jim Nutt achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May last year. In the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale auction, the work Quick Twittle Twittle sold for USD 75,600.00 (€ 70,450.10) - well above the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jim Nutt achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work "Tooth" in October last year with an auction result of SEK 10,500,000.00 (€ 960,791.22).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Jim Nutt erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale wurde die Arbeit Quick Twittle Twittle für USD 75.600,00 (€ 70.450,10) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 30.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jim Nutt erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit "Tooth" im Oktober letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von SEK 10.500.000,00 (€ 960.791,22).
