A top price for Kevin Beasley - as previously expected
The work Slab VI by Kevin Beasley was sold in the Post-War to Present auction at Christies in New York in March this year. The price achieved of USD 45,360.00 (€ 41,721.85) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Slab VI is the most expensive artwork by Kevin Beasley that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Slab VI von Kevin Beasley wurde im März diesen Jahres in der Auktion Post-War to Present bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 45.360,00 (€ 41.721,85) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Slab VI das teuerste Kunstwerk von Kevin Beasley, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
