A top price for Richard Wathen - as previously expected
The work Lower Kingdom by Richard Wathen was sold in the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction at Sothebys in New York in May 2012. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 80,500.00 (€ 65,108.38) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Lower Kingdom is the most expensive artwork by Richard Wathen that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Lower Kingdom von Richard Wathen wurde im Mai 2012 in der Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 80.500,00 (€ 65.108,38) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Lower Kingdom das teuerste Kunstwerk von Richard Wathen, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
