Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Hootie's Wife by John Wesley was worth USD 6,096.00 (€ 5,521.74) to a buyer in April this year. This price was achieved in the auction Editions & Works on Paper at Phillips in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 2,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Wesley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Plague in May 2008 with an auction result of USD 577,000.00 (€ 370,822.62).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit Hootie's Wife von John Wesley war einem Käufer im April diesen Jahres USD 6.096,00 (€ 5.521,74) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Editions & Works on Paper bei Phillips in New York erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von USD 2.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Wesley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Plague im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 577.000,00 (€ 370.822,62).
