Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Jewels of the Pantanal by Kim Brooks was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2006. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 31,200.00 (€ 23,641.74) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kim Brooks - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Dawn Patrol, which sold at auction in February this year for GBP 44,100.00 (€ 50,301.95).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Jewels of the Pantanal von Kim Brooks kam im Dezember 2006 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 31.200,00 (€ 23.641,74) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Kim Brooks mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Dawn Patrol beobachtet, die im Februar diesen Jahres für GBP 44.100,00 (€ 50.301,95) versteigert wurde.
