Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Untitled (Back #2 Chuck), 1998 by Lyle Ashton Harris was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,000.00 (€ 882.46). Admittedly, works by Lyle Ashton Harris have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Untitled (New York Times Pre-Election Self Portrait Commission), 2000 in October 2020 with an auction result of USD 4,750.00 (€ 4,078.30).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Untitled (Back #2 Chuck), 1998 von Lyle Ashton Harris im Oktober 2018 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.000,00 (€ 882,46) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Lyle Ashton Harris auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Untitled (New York Times Pre-Election Self Portrait Commission), 2000 im Oktober 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 4.750,00 (€ 4.078,30).
