In November last year Christies in New York held the auction Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Sale, which included this untitled work by Kara Walker. The »bidding war« ended at USD 252,000.00 (€ 244,115.08), 26% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 26 % übertroffen
Im November letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Sale durch, in der auch diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Kara Walker zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 252.000,00 (€ 244.115,08) und damit 26% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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.
