Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Grow Finish Unit (Eva, Oklahoma) by John Gerrard was auctioned at Phillips in New York in March 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 35,000.00 (€ 32,585.42). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Gerrard - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Oil Stick Work (Angelo Martinez, Richfield, Kansas), which sold at auction in September 2015 for USD 118,750.00 (€ 106,387.74).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Grow Finish Unit (Eva, Oklahoma) von John Gerrard im März 2015 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 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 35.000,00 (€ 32.585,42) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von John Gerrard mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Oil Stick Work (Angelo Martinez, Richfield, Kansas) beobachtet, die im September 2015 für USD 118.750,00 (€ 106.387,74) versteigert wurde.
