Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Sentinel and Texas Ranger (a group of two) by Joe Neil Beeler was auctioned at Bonhams in Los Angeles in December 2021, 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 three times as high at USD 4,462.50 (€ 3,942.83). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joe Neil Beeler achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Thanks for the Rain in February 2019 with an auction result of USD 57,500.00 (€ 50,531.68).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Sentinel and Texas Ranger (a group of two) von Joe Neil Beeler im Dezember 2021 bei Bonhams in Los Angeles 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 4.462,50 (€ 3.942,83) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joe Neil Beeler erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Thanks for the Rain im Februar 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 57.500,00 (€ 50.531,68).
