Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In December last year Christies in New York held the auction First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art, which included the work Smokestack in the Sun’s Eye by Nigel Cooke. Here, the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 20,160.00 (€ 18,844.64). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nigel Cooke achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Stumpy'S Night in May 2015 with an auction result of USD 262,000.00 (€ 238,311.81).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Dezember letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Smokestack in the Sun’s Eye von Nigel Cooke zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 20.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 20.160,00 (€ 18.844,64) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nigel Cooke erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Stumpy'S Night im Mai 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 262.000,00 (€ 238.311,81).
