Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Untitled (Black And White Abstract) by Michael West was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 16,380.00 (€ 14,063.71). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Michael West achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 7 and 8 in May last year with an auction result of USD 176,400.00 (€ 164,383.56).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Untitled (Black And White Abstract) von Michael West im Oktober 2020 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 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 16.380,00 (€ 14.063,71) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Michael West erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 7 and 8 im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 176.400,00 (€ 164.383,56).
