A top price for Patricia Coffie
When the work Far From Home by Patricia Coffie was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at USD 9,375.00 (€ 7,936.17). This high result makes Far From Home the most expensive artwork by Patricia Coffie that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Patricia Coffie
Als die Arbeit Far From Home von Patricia Coffie im September 2017 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 9.375,00 (€ 7.936,17) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Far From Home zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Patricia Coffie, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
