Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by John Salt achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in September 2005. In the first open Post-War and Contemporary Art auction, the work Beansy sold for USD 13,200.00 (€ 10,947.09) - well above the upper estimate of USD 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Salt achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work "School bus and red pick-up" in November 2012 with an auction result of SEK 1,000,000.00 (€ 115,372.79).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Salt erzielte im September 2005 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion first open Post-War and Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Beansy für USD 13.200,00 (€ 10.947,09) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Salt erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit "School bus and red pick-up" im November 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von SEK 1.000.000,00 (€ 115.372,79).
