A top price for Jim Shaw - as previously expected
The work Dr. Goldfoot And His Bikini Bombs by Jim Shaw was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2013. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 206,500.00 (€ 161,126.72) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Dr. Goldfoot And His Bikini Bombs is the most expensive artwork by Jim Shaw that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Dr. Goldfoot And His Bikini Bombs von Jim Shaw kam im März 2013 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 206.500,00 (€ 161.126,72) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Dr. Goldfoot And His Bikini Bombs das teuerste Kunstwerk von Jim Shaw, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
