Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Untitled by Njideka Akunyili Crosby was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2017, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 75,000.00 (€ 63,035.80). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Njideka Akunyili Crosby achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Beautyful Ones in November last year with an auction result of USD 4,740,000.00 (€ 4,591,688.46).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Untitled von Njideka Akunyili Crosby im November 2017 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 75.000,00 (€ 63.035,80) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Njideka Akunyili Crosby erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Beautyful Ones im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 4.740.000,00 (€ 4.591.688,46).
