This artwork by Robert Williams achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in New York in September 2019. In the New Now auction, the work Guns Don't Kill, Bullets Do sold for USD 21,250.00 (€ 19,486.47) - well above the upper estimate of USD 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Robert Williams - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Diamond In A Goat'S Ass (A Lyrically Poetic Euphemism For Pretension), which sold at auction in March 2015 for GBP 43,750.00 (€ 60,486.69).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 77 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Robert Williams erzielte im September 2019 bei Phillips in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion New Now wurde die Arbeit Guns Don't Kill, Bullets Do für USD 21.250,00 (€ 19.486,47) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 12.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Robert Williams mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Diamond In A Goat'S Ass (A Lyrically Poetic Euphemism For Pretension) beobachtet, die im März 2015 für GBP 43.750,00 (€ 60.486,69) versteigert wurde.
