Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When this work without title by Laura Owens was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 120,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 441,000.00 (€ 390,714.98). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Laura Owens - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in November 2017 for USD 1,755,000.00 (€ 1,475,037.82).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit ohne Titel von Laura Owens im November 2021 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 120.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 441.000,00 (€ 390.714,98) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Laura Owens mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit ohne Titel beobachtet, die im November 2017 für USD 1.755.000,00 (€ 1.475.037,82) versteigert wurde.
