Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Mary Weatherford achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in October 2020. In the Contemporary Art auction, the work Third Riddle (#65) sold for USD 52,920.00 (€ 45,436.59) - well above the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mary Weatherford achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Coney Island in September last year with an auction result of USD 478,800.00 (€ 489,420.42).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Mary Weatherford erzielte im Oktober 2020 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Third Riddle (#65) für USD 52.920,00 (€ 45.436,59) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mary Weatherford erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Coney Island im September letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 478.800,00 (€ 489.420,42).
