A top price for Nick Darmstaedter
When the work Suck by Nick Darmstaedter was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 25,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 149,000.00 (€ 117,991.76). This high result makes Suck the most expensive artwork by Nick Darmstaedter that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Nick Darmstaedter
Als die Arbeit Suck von Nick Darmstaedter im September 2014 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 25.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 149.000,00 (€ 117.991,76) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Suck zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Nick Darmstaedter, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
