A top price for Nancy Graves
When the work Not Identical With by Nancy Graves was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in December 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 126,000.00 (€ 111,327.09). This high result makes Not Identical With the most expensive artwork by Nancy Graves that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Nancy Graves
Als die Arbeit Not Identical With von Nancy Graves im Dezember 2021 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 30.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 126.000,00 (€ 111.327,09) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Not Identical With zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Nancy Graves, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
