Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Old Leather Sky Panther by Jimmie Durham was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 12,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 52,500.00 (€ 42,613.64). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jimmie Durham - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Apache -Rg16 G-8-13”Sch40-Pvc-1120 Nsf-81-D-1785-260Ps1@73°F, which sold at auction in May 2019 for USD 187,500.00 (€ 168,176.52).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Old Leather Sky Panther von Jimmie Durham im März 2018 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 12.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 52.500,00 (€ 42.613,64) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Jimmie Durham mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Apache -Rg16 G-8-13”Sch40-Pvc-1120 Nsf-81-D-1785-260Ps1@73°F beobachtet, die im Mai 2019 für USD 187.500,00 (€ 168.176,52) versteigert wurde.
