Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Little "Washington School Style" Type Painting by Olivier Mosset 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 12,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 44,100.00 (€ 37,863.83). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Olivier Mosset - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in May 2016 for USD 137,000.00 (€ 123,035.47).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Little "Washington School Style" Type Painting von Olivier Mosset 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 12.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 44.100,00 (€ 37.863,83) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Olivier Mosset mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit ohne Titel beobachtet, die im Mai 2016 für USD 137.000,00 (€ 123.035,47) versteigert wurde.
