Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Boy #7 by Kim McCarty was auctioned at Christies in New York in July 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 4,800.00 (€ 3,500.84). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Kim McCarty; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Girl, Mauve Bun Signed And Dated 'Kim Mccarty 02' (Lower Right) Watercolor On Paper 14½ X 11 In. (36.8 X 27.9 Cm.) Executed In 2002. Blue Nude Signed And Dated 'K Mccarty 01' (Lower Right) Watercolor On Paper 14½ X 11 In. (36.8 X 27.9 Cm.) Execute sold at auction in January 2008 with the realized price of USD 6,000.00 (€ 4,042.85).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Boy #7 von Kim McCarty im Juli 2007 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 4.800,00 (€ 3.500,84) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Kim McCarty; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Girl, Mauve Bun Signed And Dated 'Kim Mccarty 02' (Lower Right) Watercolor On Paper 14½ X 11 In. (36.8 X 27.9 Cm.) Executed In 2002. Blue Nude Signed And Dated 'K Mccarty 01' (Lower Right) Watercolor On Paper 14½ X 11 In. (36.8 X 27.9 Cm.) Execute im Januar 2008 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 6.000,00 (€ 4.042,85).
