Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work #8; and a companion painting by Peter Young was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 2,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 9,375.00 (€ 5,931.67). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Peter Young - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled #9, which sold at auction in July 2013 for USD 22,500.00 (€ 16,940.22).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit #8; and a companion painting von Peter Young im März 2008 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 2.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 9.375,00 (€ 5.931,67) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Peter Young mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled #9 beobachtet, die im Juli 2013 für USD 22.500,00 (€ 16.940,22) versteigert wurde.
