Auction result misses estimated price range
In March this year a collector was able to acquire the work Master and Slave, Together Building a Model for the Future by Kara Walker for USD 189,000.00 (€ 173,841.06). This price was achieved in the auction Post-War to Present at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kara Walker - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Negress Notes, which sold at auction in May last year for USD 529,200.00 (€ 493,150.68).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im März diesen Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Master and Slave, Together Building a Model for the Future von Kara Walker für USD 189.000,00 (€ 173.841,06) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Post-War to Present bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Kara Walker mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Negress Notes beobachtet, die im Mai letzten Jahres für USD 529.200,00 (€ 493.150,68) versteigert wurde.
