Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Unitled by Retna was auctioned at Phillips in New York in September 2020. Here, the upper estimate of USD 50,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 56,250.00 (€ 48,003.07). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Retna - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sorcery of My Style, which sold at auction in April last year for GBP 100,800.00 (€ 120,200.44).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit Unitled von Retna kam im September 2020 bei Phillips in New York zur Auktion.

Für andere Arbeiten von Retna mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sorcery of My Style beobachtet, die im April letzten Jahres für GBP 100.800,00 (€ 120.200,44) versteigert wurde.
