The work Louis XVI, the Sun King by Kehinde Wiley was sold in the Editions & Works on Paper auction at Phillips in New York in April this year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 19,050.00 (€ 17,255.43), 59% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kehinde Wiley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Virgin Martyr St. Cecilia in November 2021 with an auction result of USD 649,200.00 (€ 575,174.98).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 59 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Louis XVI, the Sun King von Kehinde Wiley wurde im April diesen Jahres in der Auktion Editions & Works on Paper bei Phillips in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 19.050,00 (€ 17.255,43) und damit 59% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Kehinde Wiley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Virgin Martyr St. Cecilia im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 649.200,00 (€ 575.174,98).
