A top price for Karina Ami
When the work The Witch by Karina Ami was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 600.00 but the actual price achieved was more than nine times as high at USD 5,670.00 (€ 4,828.41). This high result makes The Witch the most expensive artwork by Karina Ami that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Karina Ami
Als die Arbeit The Witch von Karina Ami im März 2021 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 600,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 5.670,00 (€ 4.828,41) mehr als neunmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Witch zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Karina Ami, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
