This artwork by Joseph Raffael achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Los Angeles in December 2000. In the MODERN, POST-WAR AND CONTEMPORARY ART auction, the work Three Fish, Blue Water sold for USD 8,225.00 (€ 8,761.18) - well above the upper estimate of USD 4,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Joseph Raffael - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Lily Shadow and Reflection, which sold at auction in July 2016 for USD 32,500.00 (€ 29,101.00).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 83 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Joseph Raffael erzielte im Dezember 2000 bei Christies in Los Angeles einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion MODERN, POST-WAR AND CONTEMPORARY ART wurde die Arbeit Three Fish, Blue Water für USD 8.225,00 (€ 8.761,18) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 4.500,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Joseph Raffael mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Lily Shadow and Reflection beobachtet, die im Juli 2016 für USD 32.500,00 (€ 29.101,00) versteigert wurde.
