Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Snow Blind by Not Vital was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 7,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 40,320.00 (€ 34,618.36). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Not Vital - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sled, which sold at auction in May 2010 for USD 104,500.00 (€ 84,485.41).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Snow Blind von Not Vital im Oktober 2020 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 7.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 40.320,00 (€ 34.618,36) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Not Vital mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sled beobachtet, die im Mai 2010 für USD 104.500,00 (€ 84.485,41) versteigert wurde.
