Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In December 2021 Bonhams in New York held the auction Post-War & Contemporary ArtFeaturing a Selection of Modern & Contemporary African Art, which included the work Painted Blocks #3 by Judy Chicago. The »bidding war« ended at USD 7,012.50 (€ 6,195.88), 17% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Judy Chicago achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Growing Pains from the series Six Views from the Womantree in March 2021 with an auction result of USD 81,900.00 (€ 69,743.68).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Dezember 2021 führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion Post-War & Contemporary ArtFeaturing a Selection of Modern & Contemporary African Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Painted Blocks #3 von Judy Chicago zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 7.012,50 (€ 6.195,88) und damit 17% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Judy Chicago erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Growing Pains from the series Six Views from the Womantree im März 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 81.900,00 (€ 69.743,68).
