Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Madonna with Flowers IV by Joe Brainard was auctioned at Phillips in New York in April 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 2,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 10,625.00 (€ 7,987.52). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Joe Brainard; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Thirty Squares sold at auction in September 2018 with the realized price of GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,231.29).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Madonna with Flowers IV von Joe Brainard im April 2010 bei Phillips in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 2.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 10.625,00 (€ 7.987,52) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Joe Brainard; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Thirty Squares im September 2018 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 10.000,00 (€ 11.231,29).
