Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art, which included this untitled work by Key Sato. Here, the upper estimate of USD 8,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 8,820.00 (€ 7,635.04). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Key Sato - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Âme de la Terre, which sold at auction in June 2021 for EUR 30,240.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art durch, in der auch diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Key Sato zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 8.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 8.820,00 (€ 7.635,04) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Key Sato mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Âme de la Terre beobachtet, die im Juni 2021 für EUR 30.240,00 versteigert wurde.
