Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2018 Christies in New York held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art Afternoon Session, which included the work Mindful Birth of Manhattan by Michael Williams. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 35,000.00 (€ 29,991.43) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Michael Williams - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Scott Whatever 2, which sold at auction in November 2015 for USD 93,750.00 (€ 88,761.60).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2018 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Afternoon Session durch, in der auch die Arbeit Mindful Birth of Manhattan von Michael Williams zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 35.000,00 (€ 29.991,43) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Michael Williams mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Scott Whatever 2 beobachtet, die im November 2015 für USD 93.750,00 (€ 88.761,60) versteigert wurde.
