Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May 2014 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art Day Auction, which included the work Portrait Of Jean-Michel Basquiat 1 by Makoto Saito. The »bidding war« ended at USD 233,000.00 (€ 170,821.11), 17% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Makoto Saito - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Snow B.B. (No. 20130301), which sold at auction in October 2016 for HKD 3,200,000.00 (€ 376,573.62).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Mai 2014 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of Jean-Michel Basquiat 1 von Makoto Saito zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 233.000,00 (€ 170.821,11) und damit 17% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Makoto Saito mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Snow B.B. (No. 20130301) beobachtet, die im Oktober 2016 für HKD 3.200.000,00 (€ 376.573,62) versteigert wurde.
