A top price for Mel Kendrick
When the work Untitled (Black Dots) by Mel Kendrick was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 25,000.00 (€ 23,368.85). This high result makes Untitled (Black Dots) the most expensive artwork by Mel Kendrick that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Mel Kendrick
Als die Arbeit Untitled (Black Dots) von Mel Kendrick im März 2017 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 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 25.000,00 (€ 23.368,85) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Untitled (Black Dots) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Mel Kendrick, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
